About our ductwork cleaning in Wootton
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are ductwork that has never been cleaned and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Work in a small place like Wootton starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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. 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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Wootton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Wootton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Wootton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Wootton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John or elsewhere in Wootton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wootton, about 5.5 miles east. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wootton (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Part by part
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Wootton
Which council inspects kitchens in Wootton?
Kitchens in Wootton are inspected by New Forest 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.
Can you work in Wootton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Wootton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We will confirm the time when we quote.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wootton
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wootton is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
