Ductwork cleaning in Filmore Hill
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers access panels, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about ductwork that has never been cleaned and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
In a small place like Filmore Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. It’s simpler to plan the work at Filmore Hill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Ductwork cleaning around Filmore Hill
Filmore Hill is covered by 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. Filmore Hill is about 52 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Filmore Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Filmore Hill is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles south-east.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Filmore Hill questions
Which environmental health team covers Filmore Hill?
Kitchens in Filmore Hill are inspected by East Hampshire 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 you work overnight in Filmore Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Filmore Hill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Is Filmore Hill in your area?
Yes. We work in Filmore Hill and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Filmore Hill?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Filmore Hill before we set off.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
