Ductwork cleaning in Plaish, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a duct clean needed for an insurer and heavy grease at the base of a riser, on bends and junctions, access panels and attenuators.
Work in a small place like Plaish 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we are called out for in Plaish
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 1.4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Plaish
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Plaish?
Food hygiene inspections in Plaish are carried out by Isle of Wight council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Plaish?
Yes. Plaish is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are 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.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The timing of a visit to Plaish is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Plaish
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Plaish
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Plaish, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Plaish are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Plaish sits within the area of 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Plaish, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Plaish, such as Carisbrooke Castle about 0.8 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Why act early in Plaish
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Somewhere as small as Plaish, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
