Ductwork cleaning in Hoe Gate
Each extract duct we take on in Hoe Gate 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’re dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Hoe Gate starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Hoe Gate questions
Can you get to a site in Hoe Gate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hoe Gate included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Hoe Gate?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hoe Gate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Ductwork cleaning in Hoe Gate: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Hoe Gate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Hoe Gate is 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. Kitchens in Hoe Gate get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hoe Gate is Knowle Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-west. For schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Other services in Hoe Gate
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hoe Gate?
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Hoe Gate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
