Ductwork cleaning in Clanfield: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Clanfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Clanfield 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Clanfield. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Clanfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Clanfield Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning in Clanfield, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. The work covers bends and junctions, attenuators and access panels, and the jobs we see most are a duct clean needed for an insurer and duct runs that can’t be reached.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clanfield
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. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Clanfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Clanfield?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we are called out for in Clanfield
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Clanfield, about 5.1 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Clanfield can be planned properly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
