About our ductwork cleaning in Church Crookham
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and bends and junctions, and the jobs we see most are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and grease leaking from duct joints.
In a small place like Church Crookham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Church Crookham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Why deal with it now?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. In a place like Church Crookham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
FAQs for Church Crookham
Do you work in villages like Church Crookham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Church Crookham?
Fire safety enforcement in Church Crookham is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Check readings when the menu changes
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
