Bierley ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Bierley. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Bierley
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and stale grease odours from the duct, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions onwards.
Somewhere as small as Bierley, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Bierley
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Sheat Manor, about 4.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Bierley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the price is fixed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Bierley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
FAQs for Bierley
Do you work at weekends in Bierley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bierley?
Fire safety enforcement in Bierley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

What else we do in Bierley
Ductwork cleaning around Bierley
Bierley lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Bierley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Bierley 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Niton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital to Bierley, about 5 miles north-east.

Local landmarks in Bierley
Typical jobs here are in premises near The White Horse Inn and the streets around them. Bierley’s nearest station is Shanklin station, roughly 5 miles north-east. A little further out are Blackgang Sawmill Museum (1.6 miles south-west) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Bierley include Stenbury Down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Bierley and across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
