Isle of Wight · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Barton, Isle of Wight
For cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels in Barton, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Ductwork cleaning in Barton, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Barton or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. Common call-outs are for grease seeping out of the duct seams and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, across multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Barton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Barton questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Barton?
Food hygiene inspections in Barton are carried out by Isle of Wight council. 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 at weekends in Barton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Barton can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a place like Barton, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Managing agents and facilities teams in Barton
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Barton kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs registered in Barton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Barton is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Barton are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 0.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Barton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1.6 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Barton
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, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
