Ductwork Cleaning in Chilton Green
Ductwork cleaning in Chilton Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
What staff can safely do
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chilton Green
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and access panels, and people most often call us about heavy grease at the base of a riser and fat dripping from the ductwork.
Somewhere as small as Chilton Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Chilton Green
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 5.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Visits to a village like Chilton Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Chilton Green
Do you work at weekends in Chilton Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Chilton Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Chilton Green?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Chilton Green than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work in Chilton Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Chilton Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Chilton Green
Chilton Green is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Chilton Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Chilton Green. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. The fire and rescue service for Chilton Green is 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter and St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Chilton Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Chilton Green

- Any previous report or certificate
For ductwork cleaning in Chilton Green, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
