Ductwork cleaning in Westley, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in Westley goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. The work covers attenuators, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are a rancid smell from the extract duct and grease leaking from duct joints.
For a kitchen in or near Westley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ductwork cleaning in Westley: the local picture
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Westley. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Westley are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Westley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Westley is about 4 miles north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. We provide ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Westley and the rest of Hampshire. Westley is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for ductwork cleaning. There’s also a page for Southampton, about 12 miles away.

Near you in Westley
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Plough Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Winchester station, about 3.4 miles east. Nearby you will also find Winchester Castle (3.5 miles south-east) and Balfour Museum of Hampshire Red Cross History (2.8 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Winnall Moors.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Westley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Planning a trip to Westley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

FAQs for Westley
Which environmental health team covers Westley?
Kitchens in Westley are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Westley?
Yes. Westley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
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.
