Ductwork cleaning in Norton Green, done properly
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. Common call-outs are for proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and a rancid smell from the extract duct, on bends and junctions, attenuators and horizontal duct runs.
Somewhere as small as Norton Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Norton Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Norton Green?
That is Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Norton Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does coastal air change anything about ductwork cleaning in Norton Green?
It can. Norton Green is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you work in Norton Green?
Yes. We cover Norton Green and across the Isle of Wight, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re 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.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. Typically it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Norton Green
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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 we start.
What we’re called out for in Norton Green
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Norton Green as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Norton Green is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.4 miles north.

What else we do in Norton Green
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Norton Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
