About our ductwork cleaning in Avon Castle
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across vertical risers, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Avon Castle, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The timing of a visit to Avon Castle is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why deal with it now?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. If the system at a site near Avon Castle fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Part by part
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned and the report has to say so.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
Grease, kitchens and Avon Castle
There are about 23 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Avon Castle, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Avon Castle. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Avon Castle get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Avon Castle, about 2.3 miles west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.5 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Common problems we fix in Avon Castle
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Sections of duct with no access panels
For schools such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Avon Castle
Do you cover smaller places like Avon Castle?
Yes, Avon Castle is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Avon Castle outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Avon Castle can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
