What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning in Awbridge, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators, and people most often call us about a rancid smell from the extract duct and grease leaking from duct joints.
Somewhere as small as Awbridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep to the interval on the report
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure filters are seated properly
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Awbridge knowing what to expect.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Awbridge: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Awbridge?
In Awbridge, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come to Awbridge after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
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.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Awbridge
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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.
Ductwork cleaning around Awbridge
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Awbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Food hygiene inspections in Awbridge are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Awbridge 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 2 miles north), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Awbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Awbridge is about 3 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire.
