In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Ductwork cleaning in Easton
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can help.
Work in a small place like Easton starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Easton
Will you come out to Easton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Easton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Easton?
Food hygiene inspections in Easton are carried out by Isle of Wight council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.

- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Easton
At about 1 mile from the coast, Easton is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses in Easton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Easton 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Easton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 4.2 miles east), access may need planning.
Easton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO40 area, we can take on ductwork cleaning. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby, about 18 miles away.
We work across PO40 for ductwork cleaning and the roads nearby. If you need ductwork cleaning at premises on Bay Road, Camp Road and Gate Lane or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. Other places close to Easton include Afton (1 mile east), Afton Park (1 mile east), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Totland (1 mile west) and Colwell (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (10 miles east), Cowes (11 miles north-east), Shanklin (15 miles east), Ventnor (14 miles east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east) and Barton (10 miles east). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
Landmarks near Easton
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Red Lion pub and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Yarmouth Castle (2.3 miles north) and Dimbola Museum And Galleries (less than half a mile south). Green spaces nearby include Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Run the extract fan throughout service
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Easton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Easton
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Where a hall near St. Agnes' Church, or anywhere in Easton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
