Our ductwork cleaning service in Hampshire

No two duct runs are the same, in Hampshire or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. We’re often asked to deal with stale grease odours from the duct and ductwork that has never been cleaned, on multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and attenuators.

There are three stages on the day: 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, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.

  1. We trace the duct and find every way in.
  2. We take grease readings along the route.
  3. Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
  4. Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
  5. Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

What you’ll pay

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Kitchen extracts across Hampshire

In Hampshire, we work in places such as Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport and well beyond. Every place on our Hampshire list (683 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.

From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in Hampshire, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Near the coast in Hampshire, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing.

Basingstoke: A kitchen near Basingstoke station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael's Church, or anywhere in Basingstoke, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Between visits

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
  • Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
  • Report any grease dripping from duct joints
  • Keep your cleaning records together

The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.

Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

What your team can do, and what needs us

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What happens if it’s left?

Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned.

Questions to ask before booking

  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Duct sections that need replacing
  • A damper stuck open in the duct
  • Ductwork that was poorly designed

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Hampshire

What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?

Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?

When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
