Hampshire · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Hyde, Hampshire
We cover Hyde for ductwork cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hyde can be planned properly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hyde
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hyde, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hyde now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

FAQs for Hyde
Do you work in villages like Hyde?
Yes, Hyde is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hyde?
Kitchens in Hyde are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Grease, kitchens and Hyde
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hyde, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hyde. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. 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.
Breamore House, about 4.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Hyde; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in Hyde, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hyde?
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
