Ductwork cleaning in Borden, Hampshire

- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Different parts, different methods
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.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Borden
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have a rancid smell from the extract duct and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Borden
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Borden
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business

Borden: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Borden?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Borden. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Borden?
In Borden, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you cover Borden?
Yes. Our technicians work in Borden, within the South East and London area we cover.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Borden.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Related advice
When to call us in Borden
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Borden as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Borden, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Comparing quotes

- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why act early in Borden
Grease left in a duct in Borden hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Borden rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Why Borden businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts
