How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
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.
Ductwork cleaning in Crowdhill, done properly
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you have grease pooling at the foot of the riser and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Crowdhill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Crowdhill are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Crowdhill is 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.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Crowdhill
Do you work overnight in Crowdhill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Crowdhill needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Crowdhill?
Yes, Crowdhill is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Crowdhill?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
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.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Common problems we fix in Crowdhill
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- High readings at a recent grease test
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Crowdhill (South Stoneham House is about 4.4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Crowdhill
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. 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. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Crowdhill.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
