Ductwork cleaning in Horsebridge, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers access panels, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease test showing the duct is overdue and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
For a kitchen in or near Horsebridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Horsebridge
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 2.5 miles south-west), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Common questions in Horsebridge
Which fire service covers Horsebridge?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Horsebridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Horsebridge can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Horsebridge
Horsebridge sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Horsebridge. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Horsebridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Horsebridge is Romsey Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles south.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Horsebridge, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. In a place like Horsebridge, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
