Leave it or put it right?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. Somewhere as small as Itchen Stoke, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Itchen Stoke
If the ducts in Itchen Stoke haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and duct runs with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
FAQs for Itchen Stoke
Do you work at weekends in Itchen Stoke?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Itchen Stoke keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Itchen Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes, Itchen Stoke is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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’s where we come in.
What affects the quote in Itchen Stoke
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- 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
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Itchen Stoke and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Itchen Stoke kitchens: local notes
Itchen Stoke is about 56 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Itchen Stoke get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Itchen Stoke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Perins School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 4.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
