Shipton Bellinger ductwork cleaning

When to call us in Shipton Bellinger
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Shipton Bellinger, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shipton Bellinger
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. The work covers access panels, attenuators and vertical risers, and people most often call us about thick crusts of old grease along the duct and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence.
In a small place like Shipton Bellinger, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Shipton Bellinger
Do you work at weekends in Shipton Bellinger?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Shipton Bellinger needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Shipton Bellinger?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shipton Bellinger. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Shipton Bellinger?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Shipton Bellinger
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Kitchen extracts in Shipton Bellinger
Fire safety in Shipton Bellinger falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Shipton Bellinger, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. 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.
For schools such as Shipton Bellinger Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Do not switch the extract off early
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
