East Meon kitchens: local notes
East Meon is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Meon. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around East Meon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
East Meon is about 4 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. From the centre of East Meon to the outskirts, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates.

Ductwork cleaning in East Meon
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are thick crusts of old grease along the duct and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
Somewhere as small as East Meon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Meon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

What else we do in East Meon
East Meon questions
Will you come out to East Meon?
Yes, East Meon is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Meon?
In East Meon, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in East Meon?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Leave a way through to the access panels
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What happens if it’s left?
Booking the duct clean in East Meon now keeps it a planned job. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Full insurance on every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

When to call us in East Meon
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in East Meon is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
