Ductwork cleaning in Newbridge
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have grease leaking from duct joints and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Newbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why act early in Newbridge
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere as small as Newbridge, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Newbridge and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Grease, kitchens and Newbridge
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs, bars and clubs in Newbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Newbridge is 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. In Newbridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Newbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Landford Manor, about 3.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Newbridge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Newbridge is about 3 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Across the SO40 area, we cover ductwork cleaning for commercial sites. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Newbridge is one of them. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby, about 8 miles away.

We also cover Copythorne (1 mile south-east), Cadnam (1 mile south), Wittensford (1 mile south-west), Winsor (1 mile south-east) and Bartley (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (14 miles north-east), Eastleigh (10 miles east), Totton (3 miles east), Chandler's Ford (9 miles east), Hedge End (12 miles east) and Lymington (12 miles south).

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Newbridge?
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tatchbury Mount Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newbridge, about 2.1 miles east.

Newbridge: your questions answered
Can you come to Newbridge after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Newbridge doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Newbridge?
Yes. Newbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
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 if part of the duct cannot be reached?
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.
