Ductwork cleaning in Chale Green, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Chale Green or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. If you are dealing with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can help, from access panels, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Chale Green, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Chale Green
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Why deal with it now?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Planning a trip to Chale Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Chale Green: your questions answered
Is Chale Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Chale Green?
Kitchens in Chale Green are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. Keep both in the maintenance log.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Kitchen extracts in Chale Green
At about 2 miles from the coast, Chale Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food hygiene inspections in Chale Green are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Chale Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Historic houses near Chale Green, such as Wolverton Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 3.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. James' Church or elsewhere in Chale Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Chale Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Chale Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
