Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Binsted
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers multi-storey ducts, attenuators and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are grease seeping out of the duct seams and stale grease odours from the duct.
Work in a small place like Binsted starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Binsted and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- 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.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Ductwork cleaning in Binsted: the local picture
Fire safety in Binsted falls to 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. Kitchens in Binsted get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Binsted Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 4.2 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Check readings when the menu changes
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Binsted
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Binsted
Ducts in Binsted 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Cross or elsewhere in Binsted, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning

- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
