- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Why it’s worth doing now in Dumpford
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dumpford
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. We are often asked to deal with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, on horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Dumpford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Dumpford kitchens: local notes
Dumpford, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Fire safety in Dumpford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 3.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St George's Church or elsewhere in Dumpford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Dumpford is about 5 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Dumpford, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with.

What affects the quote in Dumpford
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What we are called out for in Dumpford
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cowdray House is about 3.8 miles east), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Dumpford: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Dumpford?
The local authority for Dumpford is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Dumpford?
Dumpford is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Dumpford.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
