About our ductwork cleaning in Langley
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. 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 vertical risers, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are thick crusts of old grease along the duct and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
For a kitchen in or near Langley, 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 report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Ductwork cleaning in Langley: the local picture
Langley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways across Langley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Kitchens in Langley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Blackfield Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Francis, or anywhere in Langley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Langley is about 4 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Langley
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 5.8 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Common questions in Langley
Can school kitchens in Langley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Langley. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Langley?
Yes, Langley is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere like Langley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
