About our ductwork cleaning in West Tisted
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with high readings at a recent grease test and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators onwards.
In a small place like West Tisted, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in West Tisted
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around West Tisted, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
West Tisted questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in West Tisted?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in West Tisted. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to West Tisted after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in West Tisted does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like West Tisted are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What affects the quote in West Tisted
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
