Buriton ductwork cleaning
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Buriton. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Ductwork cleaning in Buriton
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. Typical jobs include gaps where access panels were never fitted and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, on multi-storey ducts, attenuators and bends and junctions.
In a village or hamlet like Buriton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Buriton: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Buriton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Buriton. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Buriton?
The local authority for Buriton is East Hampshire 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.
Do you work in Buriton?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Buriton included.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene 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.
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. A fixed quote follows.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The timing of a visit to Buriton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Buriton
Wherever the kitchen is, in Buriton 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:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 1.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. That’s our job.
