Ductwork Cleaning in Allbrook
Ductwork cleaning for Allbrook, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

What affects the quote in Allbrook
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Ductwork cleaning in Allbrook
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and stale grease odours from the duct.
For a smaller kitchen near Allbrook, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Allbrook
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Allbrook in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Allbrook. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Allbrook?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we are done.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Common problems we fix in Allbrook
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
South Stoneham House, about 3.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Allbrook; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Kitchen extracts in Allbrook
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 25 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs across Allbrook and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Allbrook is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Allbrook get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Scantabout Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Allbrook, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
