Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Frogmore
Ductwork in Frogmore is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. Typical jobs include years of grease along the duct floor and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across access panels, attenuators and horizontal duct runs.
In a smaller place like Frogmore, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Frogmore?
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Commuter trade near Sandhurst station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether VAT is included
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Frogmore
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Frogmore 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Frogmore
Look up Frogmore on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 44 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 36 takeaways in and around Frogmore, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. In Frogmore, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Frogmore 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.
Where a hall near St Barnabas Church, or anywhere in Frogmore, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Frogmore Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.

Questions from Frogmore
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Frogmore during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Frogmore, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire authority looks after Frogmore?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we are done.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Frogmore?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
