Ductwork cleaning in Drayton, Hampshire
Ductwork cleaning across Drayton and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Ductwork cleaning in Drayton
Ductwork in Drayton is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can put it right, from bends and junctions, attenuators and multi-storey ducts onwards.
Somewhere as small as Drayton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
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 cannot.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Drayton?
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Years of grease along the duct floor
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the quote in Drayton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Drayton
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Drayton kitchens: local notes
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Drayton. 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. In Drayton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Drayton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Drayton
Is Drayton within the area you cover?
Yes, Drayton is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Drayton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere as small as Drayton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
