Cheriton: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Cheriton?
Yes. Cheriton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Cheriton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
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 long does ductwork cleaning take?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cheriton
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs that can’t be reached and a duct nobody has opened in years.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we’re called out for in Cheriton
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cheriton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How VAT is shown on the quote
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cheriton run smoothly.
- 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.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Cheriton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Cheriton 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 Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cheriton. 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. Cheriton is covered by 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 0.8 miles south-east), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around Cheriton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
