How we handle ductwork cleaning in Thorley Street
Ductwork in Thorley Street is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. The work covers access panels, attenuators and bends and junctions, and the jobs we see most are stale grease odours from the duct and a duct nobody has opened in years.
For a kitchen in or near Thorley Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Thorley Street
Sea air reaches Thorley Street, which sits within about 2 miles 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. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Thorley Street. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. The fire and rescue service for Thorley Street is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Swithin's Church or anywhere around Thorley Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Other services in Thorley Street
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Thorley Street?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Thorley Street (Mottistone Manor is about 3.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
FAQs for Thorley Street
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Thorley Street?
It can. Salt air reaches Thorley Street, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Thorley Street?
Thorley Street is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why act early in Thorley Street
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What happens on the day

- 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.

- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
