About our ductwork cleaning in The Hangers
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Questions from The Hangers
Can the work in The Hangers be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in The Hangers can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is The Hangers within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Faulty fire dampers
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers

Ductwork cleaning in The Hangers: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across The Hangers and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in The Hangers are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. 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. The Hangers is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bishops Waltham Infant School or anywhere near The Hangers, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why deal with it now?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. 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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

When to call us in The Hangers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Look out for any of the following:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Around The Hangers, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like The Hangers.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

What affects the quote in The Hangers
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
