- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Run the extract fan throughout service
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wecock Farm
Each extract duct we take on in Wecock Farm goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Common call-outs are for thick crusts of old grease along the duct and heavy grease at the base of a riser, on access panels, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
In a smaller place like Wecock Farm, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Wecock Farm kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 15 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wecock Farm. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Wecock Farm are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. 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. Wecock Farm is covered by 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Hart Plain Church, or anywhere in Wecock Farm, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 3.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we’re called out for in Wecock Farm
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Wecock Farm is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodcroft Primary or anywhere near Wecock Farm, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why act early in Wecock Farm
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Wecock Farm when you book.
- 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.
