How we handle ductwork cleaning in Woodside
Each extract duct we take on in Woodside goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. If you are dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, we can put it right.
In a small place like Woodside, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Woodside
Can you work in Woodside outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Woodside needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Woodside within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Woodside is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Ductwork cleaning in Woodside: the local picture
Woodside sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Woodside get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Woodside, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woodside
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. In a small place like Woodside, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Woodside
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Woodside before we set off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
Common problems we fix in Woodside
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
School kitchens, at schools like Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
