How we handle ductwork cleaning in Nately Scures
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with years of grease along the duct floor and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Nately Scures, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
What we’re called out for in Nately Scures
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Vyne is about 4.9 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Nately Scures: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nately Scures?
In Nately Scures, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Nately Scures?
Fire safety enforcement in Nately Scures is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Nately Scures
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Leave it or put it right?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Somewhere as small as Nately Scures, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 will get one fixed quote.

The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. The fire and rescue service for Nately Scures is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Nately Scures are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Robert May's School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Nately Scures.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
