Ductwork cleaning in Yapton
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for fat dripping from the ductwork and a rancid smell from the extract duct, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
Around a smaller place like Yapton, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. A quieter site near Yapton still needs its system looked after.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Yapton
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. 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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Yapton
The coast is only about 2 miles from Yapton. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Yapton, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Yapton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Yapton CE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 3.2 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Yapton is about 4 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Yapton gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, and Yapton is one of them. We also work in Portsmouth, about 20 miles from Yapton.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Questions from Yapton
Who inspects food businesses in Yapton?
Kitchens in Yapton are inspected by Arun council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Yapton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Around Yapton, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
If you need ductwork cleaning in Yapton, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Yapton
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
