Duct cleaning in Well
Need ductwork cleaning in Well? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Well can be planned properly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Ductwork cleaning in Well, done properly
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. If you are dealing with thick crusts of old grease along the duct and stale grease odours from the duct, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, attenuators and access panels onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Common questions in Well
Which environmental health team covers Well?
The local authority for Well is Hart council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Well?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Well doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Well
Wherever the kitchen is, in Well or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Well
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.

Ductwork cleaning in Well: the local picture
Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Well. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. We cover Well, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Well (Farnham Castle is about 4.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like Lord Wandsworth College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Well is about 5 miles west of Farnham, in Hampshire. Well gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Well is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 15 miles from Well.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
