Ductwork cleaning in Burley, Hampshire
Our technicians work in Burley on ductwork cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not switch the extract off early
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burley
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Burley, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Burley
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Burley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Kitchen extracts in Burley
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Burley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Burley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burley (Avon Tyrrell House is about 2.3 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Burley Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Burley
Who is the fire and rescue service for Burley?
Fire safety enforcement in Burley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Burley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Burley needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

- Duct sections that need replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Burley before we set off.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Other services in Burley
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Part by part
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
