Ductwork cleaning in Durley, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in Durley goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Common call-outs are for grease seeping out of the duct seams and duct runs with no cleaning record, across access panels, attenuators and horizontal duct runs.
In a village or hamlet like Durley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a small place like Durley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Other services in Durley
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Durley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common problems we fix in Durley
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Durley as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Durley Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Durley
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Durley does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Durley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
FAQs for Durley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Durley?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Durley. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Durley?
Yes. Durley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
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. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Kitchen extracts in Durley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Durley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Durley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Durley 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 5 miles west), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Durley is about 3 miles north-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO32, we can take on ductwork cleaning. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Durley among them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page, about 6 miles away.
We cover every part of SO32 for ductwork cleaning and the streets around it. Ductwork cleaning is available to premises on Kytes Lane, The Sawmills and White Gates and nearby roads.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
