How we price ductwork cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
About our ductwork cleaning in Trotton Marsh
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, across vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and access panels.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
More services for Trotton Marsh
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Trotton Marsh?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- High readings at a recent grease test
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Midhurst Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Trotton Marsh, about 3.8 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Trotton Marsh?

What happens if there are not enough access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What accreditations do you have?

Grease, kitchens and Trotton Marsh
Food hygiene inspections in Trotton Marsh are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Trotton Marsh is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cowdray House is about 4.2 miles south-east), access may need planning.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Faulty fire dampers
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)

What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Trotton Marsh, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
