Ductwork cleaning in Leagreen
Ductwork in Leagreen 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. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you have a duct clean needed for an insurer and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.

Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
For ductwork cleaning in Leagreen, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
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. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Leagreen, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Grease, kitchens and Leagreen
Sea air reaches Leagreen, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Leagreen, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Leagreen. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Leagreen (Highcliffe Castle is about 4.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Leagreen, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Leagreen rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Leagreen
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Leagreen?
It can. Salt air reaches Leagreen, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which fire service covers Leagreen?
Leagreen is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
