Ductwork cleaning in Lower Swanwick
Ductwork in Lower Swanwick 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. We’re often asked to deal with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and high readings at a recent grease test, across access panels, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Lower Swanwick, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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 to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Why act early in Lower Swanwick
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why Lower Swanwick businesses choose us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Common problems we fix in Lower Swanwick
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- High readings at a recent grease test
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Coldeast is the nearest hospital to Lower Swanwick, about 1.2 miles south-east.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Check readings when the menu changes
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 shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Staff cleaning versus 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, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Advice
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Lower Swanwick
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lower Swanwick?
Lower Swanwick is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Does coastal air change anything about ductwork cleaning in Lower Swanwick?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Lower Swanwick than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Is Lower Swanwick in your area?
Yes. Lower Swanwick is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
