Hampshire · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Stoke Charity, Hampshire
One call covers ductwork cleaning in Stoke Charity, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Years of grease along the duct floor
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Stoke Charity
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you’re dealing with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts onwards.
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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Stoke Charity
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stoke Charity
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere like Stoke Charity, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote

Who is the fire and rescue service for Stoke Charity?

Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

When to call us in Stoke Charity
Ducts in Stoke Charity gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Where a hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Stoke Charity, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
Part by part
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
