In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Baybridge
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you have readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Baybridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Baybridge?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Baybridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Baybridge.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Baybridge
Which council inspects kitchens in Baybridge?
Kitchens in Baybridge are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Baybridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Baybridge doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
