How we handle ductwork cleaning in Ashley Heath
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can put it right.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Ashley Heath gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common questions in Ashley Heath
Do you work in villages like Ashley Heath?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ashley Heath is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Ashley Heath after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ashley Heath keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Ashley Heath
Wherever the kitchen is, in Ashley Heath 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
For schools such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
Why act early in Ashley Heath
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A quieter site near Ashley Heath still needs its system looked after.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why Ashley Heath businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions

Kitchen extracts in Ashley Heath
Kitchens in Ashley Heath get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ashley Heath. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like St Leonard's Hospital, about 1.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in Ashley Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a place like Ashley Heath, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Flag drips from the duct right away
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.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
