About our ductwork cleaning in Highcliffe
Each extract duct we take on in Highcliffe goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. If you are dealing with hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can put it right.
Around a smaller place like Highcliffe, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Diarise the next duct clean
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Highcliffe
Highcliffe kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 31 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs in and around Highcliffe, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Highcliffe. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Highcliffe. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near All Saints, or anywhere in Highcliffe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about within half a mile north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We will recommend where they should go.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a place like Highcliffe are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

Questions from Highcliffe
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Highcliffe?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Highcliffe. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Highcliffe after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Highcliffe does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Highcliffe?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
