Ductwork cleaning in West Heath, Hampshire

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Heath
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about high readings at a recent grease test and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
Work in a small place like West Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in West Heath knowing what to expect.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Grease, kitchens and West Heath
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central West Heath. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers West Heath. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Heath. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 3.2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. The Vyne, about 3 miles east, is one of the historic houses near West Heath; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in West Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
West Heath is about 2 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in West Heath, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Reading page (12 miles or so).

Local landmarks in West Heath
The nearest railway station is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 4 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Park Prewett Hospital (3.2 miles south-east) and Calleva Museum (3.3 miles north-east). Open spaces near West Heath include Daneshill Park Woods.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Heath
Dealing with the ductwork in West Heath now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Planning a trip to West Heath ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for West Heath
Is West Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, West Heath is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in West Heath outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
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.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
