Duct cleaning in Bagmore
One call covers cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels in Bagmore: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Ductwork cleaning in Bagmore, done properly
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. Common call-outs are for readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, across access panels, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
For a kitchen in or near Bagmore, 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’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Bagmore
Can you come to Bagmore after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Bagmore can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Bagmore?
Yes. Bagmore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere as small as Bagmore, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Bagmore
The fire and rescue service for Bagmore is 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. Bagmore, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 4.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Mary or elsewhere in Bagmore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Bagmore is about 5 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Bagmore, we can take on ductwork cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Bagmore is one of them. We also work in Reading, around 18 miles away.
Postcode districts we cover here for ductwork cleaning: RG25. If your site is just outside Bagmore, we cover Southrope (1 mile east), Burkham (1 mile south-west), Shalden Green (2 miles east), Bradley (3 miles south-west) and Bentworth (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (5 miles north-west), Winchester (15 miles south-west), Farnborough (14 miles north-east), Fleet (11 miles north-east), Aldershot (13 miles east) and Alton (5 miles south-east).
What’s near Bagmore

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Bagmore
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hall Place is about 3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why act early in Bagmore
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
