Leave it or put it right?
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, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

About our ductwork cleaning in Shobley
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with gaps where access panels were never fitted and a rancid smell from the extract duct, we can help, from access panels, horizontal duct runs and attenuators onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Shobley knowing what to expect.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Shobley
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Shobley is St Leonard's Hospital, about 5.7 miles south-west.

Ductwork cleaning around Shobley
Food hygiene inspections in Shobley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Shobley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Poulner Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Shobley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

- The condition of the system

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Common questions in Shobley
Do you cover smaller places like Shobley?
Yes. Shobley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Shobley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
