What ductwork cleaning looks like in Brockenhurst
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brockenhurst. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Brockenhurst. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Brockenhurst. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brockenhurst is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.8 miles south. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Saviour, or anywhere in Brockenhurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Brockenhurst
If the ducts in Brockenhurst 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 we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with thick crusts of old grease along the duct and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, access panels and vertical risers onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Brockenhurst are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common questions in Brockenhurst
Do you work at weekends in Brockenhurst?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Brockenhurst can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Brockenhurst?
The local authority for Brockenhurst is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease sets the real interval.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Brockenhurst?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
For kitchens close to Brockenhurst station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

What else we do in Brockenhurst
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
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.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Brockenhurst when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
