Hampshire · Ductwork cleaning
Duct cleaning in Tye
Ductwork cleaning in Tye from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- High readings at a recent grease test
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Ductwork cleaning in Tye
Each extract duct we take on in Tye goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. The work covers vertical risers, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are ductwork that has never been cleaned and duct runs that can’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Tye, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Tye before we set off.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.

Questions from Tye
Which fire authority looks after Tye?
Tye 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 you get to a site in Tye?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tye is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Tye
Tye is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Tye. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Fire safety in Tye falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Tye, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Mill Rythe Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
When to call us in Tye
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Tye as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
