Ductwork cleaning in Beauworth
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are fat dripping from the ductwork and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
Work in a small place like Beauworth starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Beauworth, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Beauworth
Look up Beauworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Beauworth. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Kitchens in Beauworth get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Beauworth is 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.
Historic houses near Beauworth, such as Hinton Ampner House about 1.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
FAQs for Beauworth
Can you come to Beauworth after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Beauworth doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Beauworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Beauworth are carried out by Winchester City council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
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.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.

Why deal with it now?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. It’s simpler to plan the work at Beauworth now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

- Every job surveyed first
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
See our cost guide and our accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Common problems we fix in Beauworth
Wherever the kitchen is, in Beauworth or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Beauworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
