Ductwork cleaning in Warningcamp, done properly
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. Typical jobs include ductwork that has never been cleaned and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, across attenuators, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers.
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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Ductwork cleaning in Warningcamp: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Warningcamp. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Warningcamp falls to 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. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Warningcamp. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Littlehampton Academy or anywhere near Warningcamp, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arundel and District Hospital about 1.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ecclesden Manor is about 2.8 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Questions from Warningcamp
Can you get to a site in Warningcamp?
Yes. Warningcamp is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Warningcamp?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Warningcamp. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning 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. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Warningcamp before we set off.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. A planned visit to Warningcamp is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
