Ductwork cleaning in Bridgemary
If the ducts in Bridgemary haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. The work covers access panels, attenuators and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence.
Around a smaller place like Bridgemary, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we’re called out for in Bridgemary
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Where a hall near St Matthew's, or anywhere in Bridgemary, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. A planned visit to Bridgemary fits your hours; an emergency does not.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Bridgemary kitchens: local notes
Bridgemary lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Bridgemary on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 34 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bridgemary. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Food hygiene inspections in Bridgemary are the job of Gosport council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rowner Junior tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 2.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Bridgemary is about 1 mile north-west of Gosport, in Hampshire. Sites in Bridgemary get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Bridgemary is one of them.
We work across PO13 and PO12 for ductwork cleaning and the streets around it. That includes premises on Camp Road, Copse Lane and Agnew Road and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out ductwork cleaning in Rowner (1 mile north-west), Peel Common (1 mile west), Elson (1 mile south-east), Crofton (1 mile west) and Gosport (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Havant (9 miles east), Eastleigh (13 miles north-west), Fareham (3 miles north-west), Horndean (9 miles north-east), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north-west) and Hedge End (9 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Bridgemary
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Green Dragon pub and Bridgemary School, among other places. Bridgemary’s nearest station is Fareham station, roughly 2.5 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Search (2.6 miles south-east) and Portchester Castle (2.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include West of the River Alver and Portsdown Hill.
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.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
Common questions in Bridgemary
Is Bridgemary within the area you cover?
Yes, Bridgemary is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is ductwork cleaning any different in a coastal place like Bridgemary?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Bridgemary than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Only while we’re working, and we work around you. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Your opening hours decide when we come to Bridgemary, not ours.
- 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
