Common questions in West Wittering
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for West Wittering?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in West Wittering be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in West Wittering needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Ductwork cleaning in West Wittering, done properly
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and duct runs that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near West Wittering, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep to the interval on the report
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
What we’re called out for in West Wittering
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Bursars and site managers at schools such as West Wittering Parochial Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in West Wittering
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Ductwork cleaning around West Wittering
At about 1 mile from the coast, West Wittering is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of West Wittering. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for West Wittering is West Sussex 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in West Wittering, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Why act early in West Wittering
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in West Wittering before we set off.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
