Ductwork cleaning in Durford Wood
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Durford Wood
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Durford Wood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Durford Wood 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. Kitchens in Durford Wood get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Durford Wood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Liss Infant School or anywhere near Durford Wood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What else we do in Durford Wood
Why it’s worth doing now in Durford Wood
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Durford Wood is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Durford Wood, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

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.

We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Durford Wood
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
