Ductwork cleaning in Alverstone Garden Village
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and people most often call us about thick crusts of old grease along the duct and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
Somewhere as small as Alverstone Garden Village, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Alverstone Garden Village
The coast is only about 2 miles from Alverstone Garden Village. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Alverstone Garden Village. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Alverstone Garden Village 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.
Haseley Manor, about 1.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Alverstone Garden Village; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children about 2.1 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Why deal with it now?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Alverstone Garden Village does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When to call us in Alverstone Garden Village
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Alverstone Garden Village, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Alverstone Garden Village, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
