About our ductwork cleaning in Tangley
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. Common call-outs are for years of grease along the duct floor and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, on vertical risers, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs.
In a village or hamlet like Tangley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Kitchen extracts in Tangley
In Tangley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Tangley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tangley is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.3 miles south.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Tangley run smoothly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 we start.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we are called out for in Tangley
Ducts in Tangley 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Thomas of Canterbury or elsewhere in Tangley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
What happens if it’s left?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tangley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Tangley questions
Do you work in villages like Tangley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tangley included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Tangley?
Food hygiene inspections in Tangley are carried out by Test Valley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we’ll recommend where.
