Ductwork cleaning in Up Nately, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for duct runs with no cleaning record and sections of duct with no access panels, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and access panels.
In a village or hamlet like Up Nately, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Up Nately
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Up Nately 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Robert May's School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include

Why it’s worth doing now in Up Nately
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Up Nately is calmer for everyone.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Common questions in Up Nately
Do you work in villages like Up Nately?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Up Nately included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Up Nately?
That is 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 look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

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.
