Ductwork cleaning for Alderholt and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a place like Alderholt are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Alderholt
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you have a duct clean needed for an insurer and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can help.
In a smaller place like Alderholt, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Alderholt
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Alderholt?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Alderholt after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Alderholt needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What affects the quote in Alderholt
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Alderholt
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. 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. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Alderholt
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Run the extract fan throughout service
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Ductwork cleaning in Alderholt: the local picture
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Alderholt. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Alderholt. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Breamore House, about 4.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Alderholt; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St James' Church of England First School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Alderholt, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
