What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Visits to a village like Blashford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Blashford
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. If you’re dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

Grease, kitchens and Blashford
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Blashford. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Blashford sits within the area of 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Blashford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary and All Saints or elsewhere in Blashford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What happens if it’s left?
Booking the duct clean in Blashford now keeps it a planned job. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Blashford
Which fire authority looks after Blashford?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Blashford after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Blashford needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Common problems we fix in Blashford
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Avon Tyrrell House, about 4.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Blashford; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
