Ductwork cleaning in St Mary Bourne
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and attenuators, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and years of grease along the duct floor.
Work in a small place like St Mary Bourne 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.

Managing agents and facilities teams in St Mary Bourne
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like St Mary Bourne.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and St Mary Bourne
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of St Mary Bourne. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Fire safety in St Mary Bourne falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in St Mary Bourne get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary Bourne Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in St Mary Bourne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to St Mary Bourne is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-west.

FAQs for St Mary Bourne
Which fire service covers St Mary Bourne?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers St Mary Bourne. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in St Mary Bourne?
Yes, St Mary Bourne is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with the ductwork in St Mary Bourne now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. It’s simpler to plan the work at St Mary Bourne now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Every job surveyed first
- Fully insured
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
What affects the quote in St Mary Bourne
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
