Privett: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Privett?
Kitchens in Privett are inspected by Gosport council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like Privett?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Privett is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we are done.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.

The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Privett
At about 1 mile from the coast, Privett is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 31 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Privett and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Gosport council inspect food businesses in Privett. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near St Faith's Church, or anywhere in Privett, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Gomer Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Privett
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs

How the visit works

Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Privett when you book.
- 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, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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, next to our reports.
