How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to South Gorley.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
How we handle ductwork cleaning in South Gorley
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 pictures. If you have a duct nobody has opened in years and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in South Gorley
In South Gorley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for South Gorley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in South Gorley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hyde Church of England Primary School or anywhere near South Gorley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
South Gorley is in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of South Gorley or further out, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates.

What else we do in South Gorley
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Never cook with a filter missing
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
South Gorley: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for South Gorley?
Fire safety enforcement in South Gorley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you cover smaller places like South Gorley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, South Gorley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
