Ductwork cleaning in Warnham, West Sussex

- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Ductwork cleaning in Warnham, done properly
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Leave a way through to the access panels
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.

What else we do in Warnham
When it’s something else
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a small place like Warnham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
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 work begins.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Warnham
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Somewhere as small as Warnham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Grease, kitchens and Warnham
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Warnham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Warnham are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Warnham falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Warnham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Warnham CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 1.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Warnham?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Warnham. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We plan the clean when you are not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
