How we handle ductwork cleaning in Wineham
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include heavy grease at the base of a riser and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, across access panels, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts.
In a small place like Wineham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Wineham knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What else we do in Wineham
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Wineham?
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Wineham is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 3.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Wineham
Who inspects food businesses in Wineham?
In Wineham, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wineham?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wineham
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Faulty fire dampers
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Wineham
Wineham is about 37 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Wineham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Wineham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ockenden Manor is about 4.9 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What affects the quote in Wineham
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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 work begins.
