Calshot ductwork cleaning
Our technicians work in Calshot on cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Ductwork cleaning in Calshot, done properly
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. If you are dealing with readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Calshot, 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, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Calshot.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Why act early in Calshot
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. In a small place like Calshot, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Calshot questions
Do you work at weekends in Calshot?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Calshot doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Does coastal air change anything about ductwork cleaning in Calshot?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Calshot gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Calshot
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
A hospital like Coldeast, about 4.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Ductwork cleaning around Calshot
Calshot is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Calshot. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Calshot is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near St George, or anywhere in Calshot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Calshot (Osborne House is about 4.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
