Ductwork cleaning in Bailey Green
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include fat dripping from the ductwork and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, on horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
In a small place like Bailey Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Questions from Bailey Green
Which environmental health team covers Bailey Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Bailey Green are carried out by East Hampshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will you come out to Bailey Green?
Yes. Bailey Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Bailey Green
Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Bailey Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Bailey Green, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 5.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.7 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Bailey Green is about 5 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Anywhere in GU34, we can take on ductwork cleaning. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Bailey Green is one of them. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 16 miles away.
Work in GU34 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Neighbouring places we cover for ductwork cleaning include Privett (1 mile south-east), Filmore Hill (1 mile west), West Tisted (1 mile north-west), Monkwood (2 miles north) and Charlwood (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Winchester (12 miles west), Havant (13 miles south), Eastleigh (14 miles west), Fareham (15 miles south-west), Horndean (9 miles south) and Chandler's Ford (15 miles west).
What’s near Bailey Green
Nearby you will also find Petersfield Community Hospital (5.2 miles south-east). Not far away are Shutts Copse and Pidham Hill.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bailey Green
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When to call us in Bailey Green
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Bailey Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
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.
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. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bailey Green knowing what to expect.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
