About our ductwork cleaning in Gosport
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. We are often asked to deal with heavy grease at the base of a riser and a duct nobody has opened in years, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions.
Many kitchens in a town like Gosport were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Gosport
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Gosport out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 33 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Gosport, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Gosport be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Gosport can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold 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.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Gosport kitchens: local notes
Gosport lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 37 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in and around Gosport, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Gosport, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Gosport council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 0.8 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brockhurst Primary School or anywhere near Gosport, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near St Faith's Church, or anywhere in Gosport, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Part by part
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Gosport
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, 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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Parking in a town like Gosport is typically straightforward, so the main questions are access and timing.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
