Ductwork cleaning in Alverstoke
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork that has never been cleaned and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
Somewhere as small as Alverstoke, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Ductwork cleaning around Alverstoke
Sea air reaches Alverstoke, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Alverstoke on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 38 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Alverstoke. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Alverstoke sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 0.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near The Little Church, or anywhere in Alverstoke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Alverstoke Community Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Alverstoke, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Alverstoke
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Questions from Alverstoke
Which fire service covers Alverstoke?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Alverstoke?
Yes, Alverstoke is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
