What ductwork cleaning looks like in Godshill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Godshill, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Godshill falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Godshill are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Giles or elsewhere in Godshill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 2.9 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Godshill
No two duct runs are the same, in Godshill or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you’re dealing with thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, we can put it right, from access panels, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers onwards.
In a small place like Godshill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Godshill
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Godshill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed 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.
Advice
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Godshill?
Grease filters that don’t seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
FAQs for Godshill
Can you work in Godshill outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Godshill?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Godshill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Why act early in Godshill
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
