Duct cleaning in Eastrop
Ductwork cleaning for commercial sites in Eastrop and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Check readings when the menu changes
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
About our ductwork cleaning in Eastrop
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
In a smaller place like Eastrop, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Eastrop kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 108 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 34 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Eastrop. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Fire safety in Eastrop falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Eastrop. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you cook for passing trade around Basingstoke station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Eastrop?
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Eastrop, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Your opening hours decide when we come to Eastrop, not ours.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- 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

Part by part
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
What happens if it’s left?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Eastrop included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What do you need from me for a quote?

Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
