Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Milton
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. The work covers access panels, attenuators and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like New Milton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in New Milton
At about 2 miles from the coast, New Milton is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central New Milton. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. New Milton sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Magdalene or elsewhere in New Milton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near New Milton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Common problems we fix in New Milton
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
School kitchens, at schools like The Arnewood School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What paperwork you get at the end
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in New Milton
Will you come out to New Milton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Milton included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is ductwork cleaning any different in a coastal place like New Milton?
It can. Salt air reaches New Milton, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
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. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We plan the journey to New Milton and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
