Ductwork cleaning in Trotton
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you’re dealing with gaps where access panels were never fitted and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can put it right, from access panels, attenuators and multi-storey ducts onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Trotton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Trotton hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Trotton is calmer for everyone.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What else we do in Trotton
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Trotton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Trotton
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Look out for any of the following:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
