About our ductwork cleaning in Lower Froyle
Ductwork in Lower Froyle 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. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are grease seeping out of the duct seams and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
In a small place like Lower Froyle, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Lower Froyle, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- 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.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Never cook with a filter missing
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Froyle
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Lower Froyle
Wherever the kitchen is, in Lower Froyle 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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Where a hall near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, or anywhere in Lower Froyle, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What else we do in Lower Froyle
Lower Froyle questions
Which environmental health team covers Lower Froyle?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lower Froyle. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Froyle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
