New Forest kitchens: local notes
The fire and rescue service for New Forest is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In New Forest, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in New Forest, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Around New Forest, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.

Ductwork cleaning in New Forest
If the ducts in New Forest haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with sections of duct with no access panels and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on access panels, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
For a kitchen in or near New Forest, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease left in a duct in New Forest hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If you can send photos, we can arrive in New Forest knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

New Forest: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for New Forest?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers New Forest. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in New Forest?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in New Forest can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
