How we handle ductwork cleaning in Ashurst Bridge
If the ducts in Ashurst Bridge haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for heavy grease at the base of a riser and duct runs with no cleaning record, on bends and junctions, attenuators and horizontal duct runs.
In a village or hamlet like Ashurst Bridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ashurst Bridge
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ashurst Bridge.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Questions from Ashurst Bridge
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Ashurst Bridge in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 16 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ashurst Bridge. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Ashurst Bridge?
Kitchens in Ashurst Bridge are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover Ashurst Bridge?
Yes. Our technicians work in Ashurst Bridge, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. Keep both in the maintenance log.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Ashurst Bridge
Ashurst Bridge lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 17 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Ashurst Bridge. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Ashurst Bridge is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Southampton Tudor House and Garden is about 4.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hazel Wood Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashurst Hospital (about 1.4 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Ashurst Bridge is about 1 mile south-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Ashurst Bridge, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Ashurst Bridge is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients.
Ductwork cleaning in SO40 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Nearby, we also carry out ductwork cleaning in Netley Marsh (1 mile north-west), Totton (1 mile north-east), Hounsdown (1 mile south-east), Woodlands (1 mile south-west) and Winsor (2 miles north-west).

What’s near Ashurst Bridge

Other landmarks nearby include Ashurst Hospital (1.4 miles south) and National Dairy Museum (1.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. It’s simpler to plan the work at Ashurst Bridge now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
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.
