How we handle ductwork cleaning in Mount Pleasant
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease seeping out of the duct seams and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
In a village or hamlet like Mount Pleasant, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
If you need ductwork cleaning in Mount Pleasant, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Kitchen extracts in Mount Pleasant
Sea air reaches Mount Pleasant, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and B&Bs across Mount Pleasant and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Mount Pleasant. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Priestlands School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

FAQs for Mount Pleasant
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mount Pleasant?
The local authority for Mount Pleasant is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does the sea air around Mount Pleasant make a difference to ductwork cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Mount Pleasant, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
