Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broughton
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. Common call-outs are for duct runs with no cleaning record and heavy grease at the base of a riser, on access panels, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Broughton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we are called out for in Broughton
Wherever the kitchen is, in Broughton or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3.9 miles south), access may need planning.

Broughton questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broughton?
The local authority for Broughton is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Broughton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Broughton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Grease, kitchens and Broughton
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Broughton. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Broughton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Broughton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Broughton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
