In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Ductwork cleaning in Wood's Corner
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with gaps where access panels were never fitted and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can help, from bends and junctions, attenuators and vertical risers onwards.
Somewhere as small as Wood's Corner, 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, whatever the size of the place.
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.

Kitchen extracts in Wood's Corner
About 43 miles out from central London, Wood's Corner is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wood's Corner. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wood's Corner (Bateman's is about 2.9 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hellingly Hospital about 6 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Wood's Corner?
Ducts in Wood's Corner gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
For schools such as Dallington Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. It’s simpler to plan the work at Wood's Corner now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- In business since 2009

- We’re fully insured

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Wood's Corner and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Wood's Corner.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Common questions in Wood's Corner
Which council inspects kitchens in Wood's Corner?
That is Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wood's Corner. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like Wood's Corner?
Yes, Wood's Corner is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
