Duct cleaning in Twineham Green
Looking for ductwork cleaning in Twineham Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Twineham Green
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and high readings at a recent grease test, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and vertical risers onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Twineham Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.
Questions from Twineham Green
Which environmental health team covers Twineham Green?
Kitchens in Twineham Green are inspected by Mid Sussex council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Twineham Green?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Twineham Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Twineham Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Twineham Green.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Kitchen extracts in Twineham Green
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Twineham Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Twineham Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Twineham Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Twineham Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Twineham Green (Ockenden Manor is about 3.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Twineham Green is The Dene Hospital, about 2.2 miles east.

Leave it or put it right?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. If the system at a site near Twineham Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
