Ductwork Cleaning in Old Netley
For cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels in Old Netley, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Old Netley.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Netley
No two duct runs are the same, in Old Netley or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
Somewhere as small as Old Netley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from Old Netley
Is ductwork cleaning any different in a coastal place like Old Netley?
It can. Old Netley is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which environmental health team covers Old Netley?
The local authority for Old Netley is Eastleigh council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Old Netley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Common problems we fix in Old Netley
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Medieval Merchant's House is about 3.5 miles west), access may need planning.

Grease, kitchens and Old Netley
The coast is only about 2 miles from Old Netley. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 13 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Old Netley. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Old Netley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Old Netley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 2.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
