How we handle ductwork cleaning in Durley Street
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. The work covers attenuators, access panels and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and duct runs with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like Durley Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Durley Street
Can you work in Durley Street outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Durley Street keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Durley Street?
Kitchens in Durley Street are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
Grease, kitchens and Durley Street
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered in and around Durley Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Durley Street sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Durley Street get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Wyvern Technology College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What a clean won’t put right
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Durley Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
What we’re called out for in Durley Street
Wherever the kitchen is, in Durley Street or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Moorgreen Hospital is the nearest hospital to Durley Street, about 3.9 miles south-west.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Durley Street can be planned properly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
