Ductwork cleaning in Brook
If the ducts in Brook 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 phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. The work covers attenuators, access panels and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
For a kitchen in or near Brook, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brook
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Brook kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Brook, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Brook falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Food hygiene inspections in Brook are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brook (Landford Manor is about 4.1 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Brook is about 4 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Brook, we can take on ductwork cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Brook is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (9 miles or so).

Nearby, we also carry out ductwork cleaning in Wittensford (1 mile east), Cadnam (1 mile east), Minstead (2 miles south), Newbridge (2 miles north-east) and Bramshaw (2 miles north).

Near you in Brook
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Green Dragon Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 4.2 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Tatchbury Mount Hospital (3.5 miles east). Not far away are Copythorne Common.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Brook.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Brook
Can you come to Brook after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brook?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Brook. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What affects the quote in Brook
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Brook?
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
A hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 3.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
