Ductwork cleaning in Martin
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers attenuators, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about heavy grease at the base of a riser and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
For a kitchen in or near Martin, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Martin
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere as small as Martin, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
What affects the quote in Martin
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
Ductwork cleaning around Martin
The fire and rescue service for Martin is 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. Kitchens in Martin get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Martin, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
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.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Questions from Martin
Do you work in villages like Martin?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Martin is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Martin?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Martin keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
