Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stone
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with thick crusts of old grease along the duct and high readings at a recent grease test, we can help.
Work in a small place like Stone 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Ductwork cleaning around Stone
The coast is only about 1 mile from Stone. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Stone sits within the area of 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. In Stone, 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. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4.4 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Stone is about 3 miles north-west of Cowes, in Hampshire. Stone gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page, about 9 miles away.

Why deal with it now?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. Somewhere as small as Stone, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Stone, 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.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Stone
Which fire authority looks after Stone?
Stone is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Stone?
It can, as Stone is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.
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.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Stone
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Stale grease odours from the duct
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Francis or elsewhere in Stone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
