Ductwork cleaning in Hollywater, done properly

We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and a duct clean needed for an insurer.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Hollywater: your questions answered

Which fire service covers Hollywater?

Fire safety enforcement in Hollywater is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Can you get to a site in Hollywater?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hollywater is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

How much does ductwork cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

How much notice do you need?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Part by part

Vertical risers

A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.

Attenuators and discharge

The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.

How we price ductwork cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • What state the system is in
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • How big the system is

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

For ductwork cleaning in Hollywater, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hollywater

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

What we do, step by step

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Hollywater, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
  2. We take grease readings along the route.
  3. Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
  4. Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
  5. We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.

How to prepare

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Get a fixed 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.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A worn-out fan that needs replacing
  • Leaking duct joints that need repair
  • Faulty fire dampers

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • Access panels
  • Bends and junctions
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Multi-storey ducts
  • Attenuators
  • Vertical risers

Why deal with it now?

Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hollywater is calmer for everyone.

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hollywater

Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hollywater. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hollywater. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hollywater. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodlea Primary School or anywhere near Hollywater, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 0.6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Hollywater, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
