Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Droxford
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and access panels onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Droxford before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Droxford
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Common questions in Droxford
Can you come to Droxford after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Droxford needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Droxford?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
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 if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Ductwork cleaning around Droxford
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Droxford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Droxford. 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. Droxford 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Droxford Junior School or anywhere near Droxford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary and All Saints or anywhere around Droxford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned and the report has to say so.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
