Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Deadwater
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Deadwater
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with a duct clean needed for an insurer and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions onwards.
In a smaller place like Deadwater, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each 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.

Kitchen extracts in Deadwater
The FSA’s data shows about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Deadwater. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Deadwater get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Deadwater is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Deadwater is Chase Community Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-west. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mill Chase Academy or anywhere near Deadwater, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Deadwater
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Deadwater, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Deadwater and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. 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. For a place like Deadwater, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Questions from Deadwater
Do you work overnight in Deadwater?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Deadwater?
Yes. Deadwater is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
