Why act early in Newfound
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. If the system at a site near Newfound fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Newfound
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. Typical jobs include smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and a duct nobody has opened in years, on horizontal duct runs, attenuators and vertical risers.
In a small place like Newfound, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Newfound
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Newfound as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
For schools such as Oakley Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they recommend a next date
Newfound: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Newfound?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Newfound. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work in villages like Newfound?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newfound is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
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.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newfound and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Ductwork cleaning in Newfound: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newfound. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newfound. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Newfound is covered by 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.
The Vyne, about 4.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Newfound; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
