Duct Cleaning · Hailsham
Hailsham kitchens - the High Street restaurants, the George Street takeaways and the market cafes - run grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Hailsham canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorHailsham is an old East Sussex market town at the gateway to the South Downs, its livestock market chartered in 1252 and its Victorian rope-making earning it the name of Stringtown. The restaurants of the High Street, the George Street takeaways and the market cafes all vent through extract ductwork carrying hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a hidden roof outlet.
Across a Wealden food economy of 1,373 rated premises, the risk sits in the concealed length of that duct, above a ceiling or up a riser, unseen until an insurer or fire risk assessor asks to see it cleaned. We clean and certify commercial grease, ventilation and laundry ductwork across Hailsham to TR19 Grease, cutting access panels where a run is sealed and leaving the certificate and photographs for your file.
TR19 Grease is the benchmark insurers and fire risk assessors expect for kitchen extract systems. It covers the whole system, measured, not just the parts you can see. Grease is assessed by thickness, and the standard sets the level at which a system must be cleaned and re-tested.
Across Hailsham we work to that one standard, whether the run climbs out of a busy restaurant kitchen or a care-home laundry.
Extract ductwork from fryers, grills and ranges coats itself in combustible grease along every hidden section to the roof fan. We clean the complete run to TR19 Grease and record post-clean readings.
Supply and general extract ductwork fills with dust, debris and mould that throttles airflow and spreads contamination. We clean and inspect dry ductwork so it actually ventilates.
Tumble-dryer and launderette ducting packs with lint, one of the most flammable build-ups in any building - common in hotels, inns and care homes, and easily overlooked until it is a fire.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
A Hailsham High Street restaurant in a period building ran a long, awkward duct above the ceilings. We surveyed it, fitted access panels and cleaned it end to end around service, documenting the run for the file.
A George Street takeaway had a vertical riser furred with grease behind the kitchen. We opened it with compliant panels, cleaned it to bare metal from canopy to fan, and set the interval to its frying hours.
We trace the whole run, locate the sealed and concealed sections and set the scope and a cleaning interval to your cooking hours.
Compliant inspection hatches go in wherever the ductwork is boxed in, and the kitchen or plant area is sheeted and protected.
The full run is cleaned to bare metal from canopy to fan, with grease-depth readings taken at set points as we work.
You receive a dated certificate, the readings, photographs and a next-due date for the fire logbook.
The building. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to control fire risk, and concealed grease is where a kitchen fire spreads fastest and least visibly.
The claim. Insurers expect a current certificate; a fire claim on a neglected system can be cut or refused - a costly surprise after a loss.
The day-to-day. A clean run pulls better, smells better and stands up when the environmental health officer visits.
The High Street and George Street carry Hailsham's trade, a run of restaurants and cafes where kitchens sit close, so one neglected duct threatens the units either side. We clean and certify the whole system to keep a Hailsham kitchen fire-safe for its neighbours as well as itself.
Yes. We work throughout Hailsham and the wider East Sussex, including The High Street and George Street, the Vicarage Field precinct, the livestock market, and the Diplocks industrial estate. Call 07961 915018 or use the contact form and we will confirm and quote.
The whole run - from the canopy through the concealed horizontal and vertical ductwork to the roof fan. The hidden sections are exactly where the grease and the fire risk sit.
We fit compliant access panels where the run is sealed or boxed in, so every internal section can be reached, cleaned, inspected and certified.
It depends on use. TR19 Grease sets kitchen extract frequency by daily cooking hours - roughly every three months for heavy use, six for moderate and twelve for light - and we set your interval and next-due date on the survey.
Yes. Dry supply and extract ductwork clogs with dust and can spread contamination, and laundry and dryer ducting packs with highly flammable lint. We clean and certify all three.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days to keep your kitchen or site running.
We have cleaned and certified commercial ductwork since 2001, the length of the East Sussex coast and across the UK. Whatever the run - a grease riser, a dry office system or a care-home laundry duct - the work ends the same way: bare metal, a photo record and a certificate that stands up to a fire risk assessment.
Send us your site details and cooking hours and we will survey, quote and certify - across East Sussex.
