Ductwork cleaning in Lovedean
Ductwork in Lovedean is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you’re dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can help.
In a small place like Lovedean, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. A planned visit to Lovedean is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
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.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Lovedean, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Lovedean
Can you work in Lovedean outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can a school canteen extract in Lovedean be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lovedean. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Is Lovedean in your area?
Yes. Lovedean is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Common problems we fix in Lovedean
Wherever the kitchen is, in Lovedean or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 4.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
