Within series, reduce the numbers in places for messy kitchen work (10)
I believe the answer is:
sculleries
'places for messy kitchen work' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'within series reduce the numbers' is the wordplay.
'within' is an insertion indicator.
'reduce the numbers' becomes 'cull' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'series' enclosing 'cull' is 'SCULLERIES'.
'in' is the link.
