About our ductwork cleaning in Stoke
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
Work in a small place like Stoke starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the 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, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stoke and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When to call us in Stoke
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Hayling College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

What else we do in Stoke
Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stoke is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Stoke, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Stoke
Stoke is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Stoke on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stoke. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Stoke. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stoke (Warblington Castle is about 1.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Havant War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stoke, about 2.4 miles north.
Stoke is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the PO11 postcode area, we can carry out ductwork cleaning at your premises. Stoke is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for ductwork cleaning.
Ductwork cleaning in PO11 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We cover sites on Havant Road, Rogers Mead and Northwood Lane and nearby roads. You will find Stoke on the A3023, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. We also cover the places around Stoke: North Hayling (1 mile east), Tye (1 mile east), Northney (1 mile north-east), Langstone (1 mile north) and Warblington (1 mile north). Further out, we also cover Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (6 miles north), Waterlooville (5 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
Around Stoke
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Maypole pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Warblington station, roughly 2.4 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Warblington Castle (1.8 miles north) and Havant Museum (2.1 miles north). For a walk, there’s Hayling Billy.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Stoke questions
Can you get to a site in Stoke?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stoke included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Stoke?
That is Havant council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stoke. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
