Yarmouth ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning across Yarmouth and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Yarmouth
If the ducts in Yarmouth haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and bends and junctions onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Yarmouth, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Yarmouth
Yarmouth lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Yarmouth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Yarmouth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Fire safety in Yarmouth falls to 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. James' Church or elsewhere in Yarmouth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Yarmouth is about 4 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Yarmouth, we can take on ductwork cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page, about 15 miles away.
Every address in PO41 is covered for ductwork cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need ductwork cleaning at premises on High Street, Station Road and Alma Place or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. You will find Yarmouth on the A3054, which makes it straightforward for our technicians to reach for ductwork cleaning. Neighbouring places we cover for ductwork cleaning include Bouldnor (1 mile east), Cranmore (2 miles east), Hamstead (3 miles east), Shalfleet (3 miles east) and East End (5 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (15 miles east), Shanklin (15 miles east) and Ventnor (15 miles south-east). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
Landmarks near Yarmouth
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Bugle Hotel. Yarmouth’s nearest station is Lymington Pier station, roughly 3.9 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Yarmouth Castle (within half a mile north-west) and Ferguson Family Museum (1.2 miles south-west). Not far away are Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Afton Down.
What else we do in Yarmouth
Why deal with it now?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. If the system at a site near Yarmouth fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Photo reports with every job
- We diagnose before we treat

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Yarmouth.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Yarmouth: your questions answered
Is ductwork cleaning any different in a coastal place like Yarmouth?
It can, as Yarmouth is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can the work in Yarmouth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
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.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What we’re called out for in Yarmouth
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Mottistone Manor, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Yarmouth; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Managing agents and facilities teams in Yarmouth
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When it’s something else
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
