Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.

Somewhere as small as Brockbridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Brockbridge
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Brockbridge
Can the work in Brockbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Brockbridge can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brockbridge?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Brockbridge. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is Brockbridge in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Brockbridge, within the South East and London area we cover.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
