How we handle ductwork cleaning in Regents Park
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers bends and junctions, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about a rancid smell from the extract duct and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
Kitchens around a place like Regents Park are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. In a place like Regents Park, we fit the visit around your hours.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Regents Park
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Commuter trade near Millbrook (Hants) station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Regents Park
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Ductwork cleaning around Regents Park
At about 1 mile from the coast, Regents Park is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Regents Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 58 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 56 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Regents Park. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. It’s Southampton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Regents Park. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Regents Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Regents Park is Western Community Hospital, about less than half a mile north-west.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
What happens if it’s left?
Booking the duct clean in Regents Park now keeps it a planned job. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. A quieter site near Regents Park still needs its system looked after.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Common questions in Regents Park
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Regents Park?
That is Southampton council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Regents Park. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does being near the coast affect ductwork cleaning in Regents Park?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Regents Park than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- Problems your staff have spotted
