Why act early in Andover Down
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. If the system at a site near Andover Down fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Ductwork cleaning in Andover Down, done properly
If the ducts in Andover Down haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, across attenuators, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
Work in a small place like Andover Down starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Andover Down questions
Can you come to Andover Down after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Andover Down can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Andover Down within the area you cover?
Yes, Andover Down is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Common problems we fix in Andover Down
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Andover Down is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.6 miles west.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
