Managing agents and facilities teams in Golden Pot
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Golden Pot
No two duct runs are the same, in Golden Pot or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are gaps where access panels were never fitted and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
In a small place like Golden Pot, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Golden Pot kitchens: local notes
Golden Pot sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. We cover Golden Pot, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Golden Pot questions
Do you work at weekends in Golden Pot?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Golden Pot can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Golden Pot?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Check readings when the menu changes
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a village like Golden Pot are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for 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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Golden Pot?
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Hall Place, about 3.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Golden Pot; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- 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
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
