Kitchen extracts in North Gorley
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central North Gorley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in North Gorley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in North Gorley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hyde Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in North Gorley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near North Gorley, such as Breamore House about 4.5 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Ductwork cleaning in North Gorley
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, vertical risers and attenuators, and people most often call us about a grease test showing the duct is overdue and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
In a small place like North Gorley, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

North Gorley: your questions answered
Which fire service covers North Gorley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers North Gorley. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is North Gorley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, North Gorley included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Leave it or put it right?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. It’s simpler to plan the work at North Gorley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Flag drips from the duct right away
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to North Gorley.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
