Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hangersley
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease seeping out of the duct seams and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs.
For a kitchen in or near Hangersley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Flag drips from the duct right away
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.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens if it’s left?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Somewhere as small as Hangersley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Hangersley
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Poulner Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Common questions in Hangersley
Who inspects food businesses in Hangersley?
Kitchens in Hangersley are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hangersley out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hangersley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.

Yes. We work in Hangersley and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The timing of a visit to Hangersley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
