Ductwork cleaning in Crookham Village, done properly
If the ducts in Crookham Village haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. If you have a grease test showing the duct is overdue and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crookham Village
Booking the duct clean in Crookham Village now keeps it a planned job. The work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Somewhere as small as Crookham Village, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Never cook with a filter missing
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Grease, kitchens and Crookham Village
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 41 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crookham Village. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crookham Village. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Crookham Village falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Crookham Village, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Historic houses near Crookham Village, such as Farnham Castle about 4.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Common problems we fix in Crookham Village
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 1.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Crookham Village before we set off.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- 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
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
