Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Adgestone
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 cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and access panels, and the jobs we see most are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
In a small place like Adgestone, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ductwork cleaning around Adgestone
Sea air reaches Adgestone, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 11 pubs and bars and about 16 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Adgestone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Adgestone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Adgestone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Adgestone (Morton Manor is about 0.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Adgestone is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We provide ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Adgestone and the rest of the Isle of Wight. Adgestone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we work for commercial clients. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby, about 10 miles away.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Adgestone: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Adgestone?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Adgestone keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Adgestone?
Yes, Adgestone is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
When to call us in Adgestone
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 2.7 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What else we do in Adgestone
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Run the extract fan throughout service
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Why act early in Adgestone
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s simpler to plan the work at Adgestone now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere like Adgestone, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
