Ductwork cleaning in Lower Burgate, Hampshire
Need ductwork cleaning in Lower Burgate? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. A planned visit to Lower Burgate is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

About our ductwork cleaning in Lower Burgate
If the ducts in Lower Burgate haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with fat dripping from the ductwork and high readings at a recent grease test, we can help.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Lower Burgate
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 2.2 miles north), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Ductwork cleaning around Lower Burgate
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lower Burgate. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Fire safety in Lower Burgate falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lower Burgate. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Lower Burgate, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Lower Burgate are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
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.

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
Common questions in Lower Burgate
Is Lower Burgate within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lower Burgate included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lower Burgate?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lower Burgate. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
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 if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
