Duct cleaning in Catisfield

- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Catisfield when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
About our ductwork cleaning in Catisfield
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers multi-storey ducts, access panels and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are a grease test showing the duct is overdue and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
Around a smaller place like Catisfield, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next duct clean
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
What we are called out for in Catisfield
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 2.2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Catisfield questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Catisfield in the summer holidays?

Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire service covers Catisfield?
Catisfield is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Grease, kitchens and Catisfield
Catisfield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Catisfield. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Catisfield sits within the area of 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ranvilles Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Catisfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
