Bashley kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Bashley. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Bashley. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Bashley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Highcliffe Castle, about 3.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Bashley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ballard School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

About our ductwork cleaning in Bashley
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. Typical jobs include ductwork that has never been cleaned and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on attenuators, access panels and bends and junctions.
In a small place like Bashley, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
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 anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bashley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

Different parts, different methods
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
What happens if it’s left?
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, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Bashley
Ducts in Bashley gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bashley is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5 miles east.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What affects the quote in Bashley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Questions from Bashley
Do you work in villages like Bashley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bashley is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can school kitchens in Bashley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bashley. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
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.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What a clean won’t put right
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
