Horseport: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Horseport out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Horseport. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can the work in Horseport be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
About our ductwork cleaning in Horseport
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and access panels, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease at the base of a riser and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
For a kitchen in or near Horseport, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Horseport
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Ductwork cleaning around Horseport
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Horseport, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Horseport is covered by 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 New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Horseport. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Horseport, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Breamore House, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Horseport; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Horseport

These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Fordingbridge Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Horseport, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
