Whiteley questions
Can the work in Whiteley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Whiteley?
Yes. Whiteley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Whiteley
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with a duct clean needed for an insurer and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Whiteley, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Everything the job in Whiteley needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
Why act early in Whiteley
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a smaller place like Whiteley, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
When to call us in Whiteley
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
School kitchens, at schools like Whiteley Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
Kitchen extracts in Whiteley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Whiteley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Whiteley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Whiteley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Margaret Mary or elsewhere in Whiteley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fareham Community Hospital (about 1.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
