How we handle ductwork cleaning in Atherfield Green
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. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels, and people most often call us about duct runs with no cleaning record and duct runs that can’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Atherfield Green
Which fire service covers Atherfield Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Atherfield Green is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you cover smaller places like Atherfield Green?
Yes. Atherfield Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. It’s simpler to plan the work at Atherfield Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 we’re called out for in Atherfield Green
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Atherfield Green (Wolverton Manor is about 2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Atherfield Green kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Atherfield Green, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Atherfield Green is covered by 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. Kitchens in Atherfield Green get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitecroft Hospital (about 4.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Atherfield Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Atherfield Green knowing what to expect.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
