About our ductwork cleaning in Deane
No two duct runs are the same, in Deane or anywhere else. 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. Common call-outs are for high readings at a recent grease test and grease leaking from duct joints, on vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and access panels.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Deane can be planned properly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Common questions in Deane
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Deane?
Fire safety enforcement in Deane is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Deane?
Kitchens in Deane are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

At about 51 miles from central London, Deane sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Deane are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Deane, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Deane rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Deane
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Deane is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 4.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of insurance
