Grease, kitchens and Stanmore
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 116 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 30 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stanmore. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Stanmore 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. Kitchens in Stanmore get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. 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.
Where a hall near Saint Luke, or anywhere in Stanmore, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stanmore is Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stanmore Primary School or anywhere near Stanmore, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanmore
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for duct runs with no cleaning record and sections of duct with no access panels, across attenuators, horizontal duct runs and access panels.
In a smaller place like Stanmore, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. When a site near Stanmore shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
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 we start, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. In a place like Stanmore, we fit the visit around your hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Questions from Stanmore
Who inspects food businesses in Stanmore?
Kitchens in Stanmore are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Stanmore after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Stanmore doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. Keep both in the maintenance log.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep your cleaning records together
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
