Ductwork cleaning in New Copse
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re often asked to deal with readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and a rancid smell from the extract duct, on access panels, attenuators and vertical risers.
In a village or hamlet like New Copse, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in New Copse knowing what to expect.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Managing agents and facilities teams in New Copse
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.

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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease, kitchens and New Copse
The fire and rescue service for New Copse 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. About 49 miles out from central London, New Copse is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in New Copse, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
New Copse is about 4 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of New Copse or further out, we cover ductwork cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and New Copse is one of them. We also work in Southampton, around 21 miles away.
Ductwork cleaning in GU34 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If your site is just outside New Copse, we cover South Town (1 mile south), Holt End (1 mile north), Hattingley (1 mile south-west), Wivelrod (1 mile east) and Bentworth (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Basingstoke (9 miles north), Winchester (12 miles south-west), Fleet (14 miles north-east), Aldershot (15 miles north-east), Alton (4 miles east) and Petersfield (11 miles south-east).
What’s near New Copse
The nearest railway station is Alton station, roughly 4.3 miles east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Alton Community Hospital (3.2 miles east) and Gliding Heritage Centre (3.7 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s King's Hill.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Copse
Grease left in a duct in New Copse hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. If the system at a site near New Copse fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

New Copse: your questions answered
Is New Copse within the area you cover?
Yes, New Copse is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in New Copse?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers New Copse. 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.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in New Copse?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Bentworth Hall, about 0.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near New Copse; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
