For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Ductwork cleaning in Upper Street
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers access panels, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and a grease test showing the duct is overdue.
Work in a small place like Upper Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Upper Street
What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Upper Street doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. A planned visit to Upper Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Every job surveyed first

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Upper Street knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Different parts, different methods
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
What we are called out for in Upper Street
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Upper Street is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Upper Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common questions in Upper Street
Can the work in Upper Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Upper Street needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Upper Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Ductwork cleaning in Upper Street: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Upper Street. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Upper Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Upper Street 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Breamore Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Upper Street, such as Breamore House about 0.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
