How we handle ductwork cleaning in Leigh Park
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. Common call-outs are for stale grease odours from the duct and gaps where access panels were never fitted, on bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and attenuators.
Kitchens around a place like Leigh Park are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a site near Leigh Park, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common problems we fix in Leigh Park
Wherever the kitchen is, in Leigh Park or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Where a hall near St Francis, or anywhere in Leigh Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
FAQs for Leigh Park
Is Leigh Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Leigh Park is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can a school canteen extract in Leigh Park be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Leigh Park. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Why act early in Leigh Park
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Leigh Park does not stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. In a smaller place like Leigh Park, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Kitchen extracts in Leigh Park
At about 2 miles from the coast, Leigh Park is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 18 pubs, bars and clubs across Leigh Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Leigh Park falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 1 mile south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Leigh Park (Warblington Castle is about 1.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Leigh Park is about 1 mile north of Havant, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Leigh Park, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Leigh Park is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. Portsmouth is in our area too, about 6 miles from Leigh Park.
Work in PO9 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Riders Lane, Iping Avenue and Sunwood Road and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Leigh Park, we cover Havant (1 mile south), Durrants (1 mile north-east), Denvilles (1 mile south-east), Rowlands Castle (2 miles north-east) and Langstone (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles south-west), Fareham (9 miles west), Horndean (3 miles north), Hedge End (14 miles west), Petersfield (10 miles north) and Locks Heath (12 miles west).
