Noke Common ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for commercial sites in Noke Common and across the Isle of Wight. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Ductwork cleaning in Noke Common, done properly
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers access panels, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about fat dripping from the ductwork and high readings at a recent grease test.
In a village or hamlet like Noke Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Noke Common
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Noke Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Noke Common
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Kitchen extracts in Noke Common
Noke Common is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Noke Common. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Noke Common is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Carisbrooke Castle, about 2.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Noke Common; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. School kitchens, at schools like Hunnyhill Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Noke Common is about 2 miles north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO30, we can take on ductwork cleaning. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Portsmouth, about 12 miles from Noke Common.

Noke Common: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Noke Common?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Noke Common?
Kitchens in Noke Common are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What we’re called out for in Noke Common
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mary's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Noke Common, about 0.8 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
