About our ductwork cleaning in Upper Swanmore
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. Common call-outs are for gaps where access panels were never fitted and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across access panels, bends and junctions and vertical risers.
Somewhere as small as Upper Swanmore, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Upper Swanmore questions
Which fire service covers Upper Swanmore?
Upper Swanmore 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.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Upper Swanmore during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Upper Swanmore, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: 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 ductwork cleaning looks like in Upper Swanmore
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in Upper Swanmore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Upper Swanmore. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Upper Swanmore 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 Church of St Barnabas or anywhere around Upper Swanmore, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Upper Swanmore, about 5.1 miles south. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Upper Swanmore, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Upper Swanmore.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Upper Swanmore affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Every job surveyed first
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Diarise the next duct clean
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
