Duct cleaning in Bighton
Our technicians work in Bighton on ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to 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.
Ductwork cleaning in Bighton
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. The work covers bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a duct nobody has opened in years and sections of duct with no access panels.
In a village or hamlet like Bighton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we are called out for in Bighton
Risers carry the extract up through the building. 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 any of the following:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease leaking from duct joints
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- 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 us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Bighton
Bighton, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

School kitchens, at schools like Perins School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Bighton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Bighton questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bighton?
Fire safety enforcement in Bighton 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.
Will you come out to Bighton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bighton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
What we do, step by step
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 photos. 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. Visits to a village like Bighton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
