Ductwork cleaning around West Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens across West Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. The fire and rescue service for West Green 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 West Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Green is Fleet Community Hospital, about 3.4 miles east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Greenfields Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Stratfield Saye House, about 4.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near West Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
West Green is about 4 miles north-west of Fleet, in Hampshire.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in West Green
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. Common call-outs are for ductwork that has never been cleaned and high readings at a recent grease test, on bends and junctions, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts.
In a village or hamlet like West Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for West Green
Will you come out to West Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers West Green?
Food hygiene inspections in West Green are carried out by Hart council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to West Green run smoothly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

Advice
What affects the quote in West Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
For ductwork cleaning in West Green, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. Planning a trip to West Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
