Ductwork cleaning in Foreland Fields, done properly
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Foreland Fields, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. 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. For a village or hamlet like Foreland Fields, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Questions from Foreland Fields
Who is the fire and rescue service for Foreland Fields?
Fire safety enforcement in Foreland Fields is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Does the sea air around Foreland Fields make a difference to ductwork cleaning?
It can, as Foreland Fields is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Is Foreland Fields in your area?
Yes. Foreland Fields is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We will recommend where they should go.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Make sure filters are seated properly
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Foreland Fields
At about 1 mile from the coast, Foreland Fields 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 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Foreland Fields. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Foreland Fields, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Foreland Fields, such as Yaverland Manor about 2.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Saint Luke, or anywhere in Foreland Fields, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 5.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Other services in Foreland Fields
Why deal with it now?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
