Ductwork cleaning in Curbridge, Hampshire
Our technicians work in Curbridge on ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- High readings at a recent grease test
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Curbridge are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

About our ductwork cleaning in Curbridge
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a duct clean needed for an insurer and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
In a smaller place like Curbridge, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Curbridge kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Curbridge. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Curbridge are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Curbridge sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Curbridge is Knowle Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-east. Whether the kitchen is in Curbridge itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Never cook with a filter missing
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with the ductwork in Curbridge now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Around Curbridge, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Curbridge
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Curbridge in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Curbridge, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire service covers Curbridge?
Fire safety enforcement in Curbridge 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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
