Ductwork cleaning in Belbins, Hampshire
Ductwork cleaning for Belbins, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing

About our ductwork cleaning in Belbins
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and attenuators, and people most often call us about gaps where access panels were never fitted and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
Somewhere as small as Belbins, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Belbins doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. In a place like Belbins, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- In business since 2009

What we’re called out for in Belbins
Ducts in Belbins gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Belbins is Romsey Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles south.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Belbins
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Belbins and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Belbins. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Belbins is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Belbins, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Cupernham Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Belbins questions
Which fire service covers Belbins?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Belbins. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in Belbins?
In Belbins, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Belbins included.
What does TR19 mean?

Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
