Duct cleaning in Palestine
Ductwork cleaning across Palestine and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
About our ductwork cleaning in Palestine
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. 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. If you are dealing with readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Palestine, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Palestine questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Palestine?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Palestine. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you work in Palestine outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Palestine can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Ductwork cleaning around Palestine
Kitchens in Palestine get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Palestine is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Idmiston Manor, about 4.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Palestine; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A kitchen near Grateley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Palestine, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Leave it or put it right?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Planning a trip to Palestine ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Palestine
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Where a hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Palestine, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they recommend a next date
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
