Ductwork cleaning in Binley
No two duct runs are the same, in Binley or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers, and people most often call us about high readings at a recent grease test and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs.
For a kitchen in or near Binley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Binley: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Binley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Binley. 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Binley?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Binley. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Kitchen extracts in Binley
Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Binley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Binley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 5.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
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.
Leave it or put it right?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Binley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Binley.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Binley?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Binley (Highclere Castle is about 3.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
