Crampmoor ductwork cleaning
Looking for ductwork cleaning in Crampmoor? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Common problems we fix in Crampmoor
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Years of grease along the duct floor
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 1.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crampmoor
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. If you have a duct clean needed for an insurer and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Crampmoor, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. 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.

- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.

Do you work in villages like Crampmoor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

Crampmoor kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Crampmoor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Crampmoor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Crampmoor is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Swithun's Church or anywhere around Crampmoor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 4.4 miles north-west), access may need planning.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
