Ductwork cleaning in Hyde
Ductwork in Hyde is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. Typical jobs include thick crusts of old grease along the duct and ductwork that has never been cleaned, across attenuators, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs.
Kitchens around a place like Hyde are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Grease, kitchens and Hyde
Look up Hyde on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 120 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hyde. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hyde. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Hyde 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 dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Bartholomew's Church, or anywhere in Hyde, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Bede Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hyde?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Hyde or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 0.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a place like Hyde are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

FAQs for Hyde
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hyde?
Food hygiene inspections in Hyde are carried out by Winchester City council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hyde in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 14 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hyde. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the interval on the report
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Around Hyde, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
