Ductwork cleaning in Bishop's Sutton, done properly
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. Typical jobs include smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and a duct clean needed for an insurer, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and attenuators.
Somewhere as small as Bishop's Sutton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bishop's Sutton knowing what to expect.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
FAQs for Bishop's Sutton
Do you cover smaller places like Bishop's Sutton?
Yes, Bishop's Sutton is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bishop's Sutton in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bishop's Sutton. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bishop's Sutton
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A planned visit to Bishop's Sutton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
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.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bishop's Sutton
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Bishop's Sutton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Bishop's Sutton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Bishop's Sutton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Bishop's Sutton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Bishop's Sutton, such as Hinton Ampner House about 2.9 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Bishop's Sutton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Perins School or anywhere near Bishop's Sutton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
