How we handle ductwork cleaning in Woodgreen
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Typical jobs include grease seeping out of the duct seams and a duct nobody has opened in years, across vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs.
For a kitchen in or near Woodgreen, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When to call us in Woodgreen
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Boniface, or anywhere in Woodgreen, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something 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.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere as small as Woodgreen, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Woodgreen: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Woodgreen. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Woodgreen sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woodgreen. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Breamore Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Woodgreen, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Breamore House, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Woodgreen; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Woodgreen: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Woodgreen?
Fire safety enforcement in Woodgreen is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is Woodgreen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. 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.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
