Blendworth ductwork cleaning
Our technicians work in Blendworth on cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.

- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct

What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Blendworth does not stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Blendworth is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Blendworth
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and sections of duct with no access panels.
Somewhere as small as Blendworth, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Blendworth, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Blendworth kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blendworth. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Blendworth. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Blendworth falls to 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Uppark is about 4.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Havant War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Blendworth, about 4.3 miles south.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Blendworth?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Blendworth or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
For schools such as Horndean Church of England Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep your cleaning records together
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
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.
