Ductwork Cleaning in Wisborough Green
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Wisborough Green, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Common problems we fix in Wisborough Green
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
For schools such as Wisborough Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wisborough Green
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with gaps where access panels were never fitted and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wisborough Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Wisborough Green: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wisborough Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wisborough Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Wisborough Green?
Yes, Wisborough Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
Wisborough Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wisborough Green. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Wisborough 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.

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Historic houses near Wisborough Green, such as Old Place Manor about 4.4 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, or anywhere in Wisborough Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wisborough Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
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. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Do not switch the extract off early
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
