Ductwork cleaning in Ashey, done properly
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. Typical jobs include an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and grease leaking from duct joints, on multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and attenuators.
In a village or hamlet like Ashey, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Ashey
Which fire service covers Ashey?
Fire safety enforcement in Ashey is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Ashey be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Ashey doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Ashey
Sea air reaches Ashey, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Ashey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Food hygiene inspections in Ashey are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Ashey, such as Nunwell House about 1.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children about 4.4 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Ashey
Wherever the kitchen is, in Ashey or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ryde Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ashey.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
