Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Lowford
Do you cover smaller places like Lowford?
Yes, Lowford is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Lowford?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
About our ductwork cleaning in Lowford
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Lowford are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Your opening hours decide when we come to Lowford, not ours.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Ductwork cleaning in Lowford: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Lowford. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Lowford. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Lowford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 2.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul’s Church, or anywhere in Lowford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run a café or takeaway near Bursledon station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
