Ductwork cleaning in Curdridge
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are years of grease along the duct floor and fat dripping from the ductwork.
In a small place like Curdridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Curdridge
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Curdridge as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for any of the following:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Curdridge and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Curdridge kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Curdridge. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Curdridge. 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. Curdridge 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Curdridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Curdridge Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common questions in Curdridge
Can you come to Curdridge after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Curdridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Curdridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Curdridge is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
What affects the quote in Curdridge
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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 send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Faulty fire dampers
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
