Ductwork Cleaning in Canada
Our technicians work in Canada on ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Canada
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. If you have thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Canada
Can a school canteen extract in Canada be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Canada. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Canada?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Canada is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
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.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What affects the quote in Canada
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Common problems we fix in Canada
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. 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
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wellow School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Canada
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Canada, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Fire safety in Canada falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Canada. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Canada (Landford Manor is about 2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 3.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Canada is about 5 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Across the SO51 area, we can carry out ductwork cleaning at your premises. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Canada is one of them. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 9 miles away.

What’s near Canada
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Rockingham Arms and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Romsey station, roughly 4.6 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Tatchbury Mount Hospital (3.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Copythorne Common.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Canada before we set off.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
If you need ductwork cleaning in Canada, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a place like Canada, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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’ll price it together.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
