Ductwork cleaning in Gosport, Hampshire

About our ductwork cleaning in Gosport
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
In a small place like Gosport, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Grease, kitchens and Gosport
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Gosport. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Gosport, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Gosport. 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.
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 2.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Ampfield Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Gosport is about 2 miles east of Romsey, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Gosport, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots.

Common problems we fix in Gosport
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Gosport, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Gosport: your questions answered
Is Gosport within the area you cover?
Yes. Gosport is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Gosport?
In Gosport, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Gosport?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
How the visit works
We turn up 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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Gosport run smoothly.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
Getting 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.
