How we handle ductwork cleaning in Frogham
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork that has never been cleaned and heavy grease at the base of a riser, across access panels, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For ductwork cleaning in Frogham, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.

FAQs for Frogham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frogham?
Kitchens in Frogham are inspected by New Forest 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.
Can the work in Frogham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Frogham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
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.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

What we are called out for in Frogham
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hyde Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote

What a clean won’t put right

- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts

What happens on the day
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. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Frogham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why deal with it now?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Frogham doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
