Work in a small place like Penton Grafton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. In a small place like Penton Grafton, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Questions from Penton Grafton
Which fire service covers Penton Grafton?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Penton Grafton?
Food hygiene inspections in Penton Grafton are carried out by Test Valley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What happens on the day
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. For a village or hamlet like Penton Grafton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Penton Grafton
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
For schools such as Harrow Way Community School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning in Penton Grafton: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Penton Grafton, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Penton Grafton sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Penton Grafton are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Penton Grafton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 1.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
