About our ductwork cleaning in Blackmoor
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can put it right, from access panels, attenuators and bends and junctions onwards.
Work in a small place like Blackmoor starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere like Blackmoor, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Also in Blackmoor
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When to call us in Blackmoor
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
School kitchens, at schools like St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
What happens if it’s left?
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. Planning a trip to Blackmoor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Common questions in Blackmoor
Do you work at weekends in Blackmoor?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Blackmoor needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Blackmoor?
Kitchens in Blackmoor are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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’ll talk you through the next steps.
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.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Blackmoor?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Blackmoor kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blackmoor. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Blackmoor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Blackmoor. 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 a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Blackmoor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Blackmoor is Chase Community Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east.

- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
