Ductwork cleaning in Sheet
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about high readings at a recent grease test and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Work in a small place like Sheet starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Sheet
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sheet?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sheet. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sheet?
Food hygiene inspections in Sheet are carried out by East Hampshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long will the duct clean take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sheet
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Sheet
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Ductwork cleaning around Sheet
There are about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in Sheet and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Sheet 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 Sheet are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Visits to a village like Sheet are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- 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, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us 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. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
When to call us in Sheet
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in Sheet, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
