Ductwork Cleaning in North Baddesley
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around North Baddesley, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- 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
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Ductwork cleaning in North Baddesley
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions, and the jobs we see most are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and high readings at a recent grease test.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in North Baddesley
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Around North Baddesley, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
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 any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in North Baddesley
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.

Which council inspects kitchens in North Baddesley?
Food hygiene inspections in North Baddesley are carried out by Test Valley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
