How we handle ductwork cleaning in Upper Enham
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers bends and junctions, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about gaps where access panels were never fitted and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
Work in a small place like Upper Enham starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Upper Enham before we set off.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

FAQs for Upper Enham
Which fire authority looks after Upper Enham?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Upper Enham outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Upper Enham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Enham
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Upper Enham
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What else we do in Upper Enham
Why act early in Upper Enham
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- 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)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
What we’re called out for in Upper Enham
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
Where a hall near Saint George, or anywhere in Upper Enham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Upper Enham kitchens: local notes
Look up Upper Enham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Upper Enham. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. The fire and rescue service for Upper Enham is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Upper Enham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 2.6 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
