Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Park Gate
Does the sea air around Park Gate make a difference to ductwork cleaning?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Park Gate than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Park Gate?
That’s Fareham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Park Gate. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Park Gate?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Park Gate
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and grease leaking from duct joints, on multi-storey ducts, attenuators and bends and junctions.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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 are fully insured.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Park Gate
Sea air reaches Park Gate, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Park Gate. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Park Gate is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a café or takeaway near Swanwick station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Margaret Mary or elsewhere in Park Gate, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere like Park Gate, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Park Gate?
Ducts in Park Gate gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Park Gate Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Duct sections that need replacing

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Park Gate
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Never cook with a filter missing
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
