What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bar End
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you have a duct nobody has opened in years and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Bar End, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we’re called out for in Bar End
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints or elsewhere in Bar End, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Part by part
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
What happens if it’s left?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Bar End questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bar End?
The local authority for Bar End is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Bar End?
Yes. Bar End 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.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere as small as Bar End, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Bar End kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 31 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Bar End. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Bar End is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Bar End, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 0.6 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
