Do you need ductwork cleaning in East Stratton?
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints

About our ductwork cleaning in East Stratton
Ductwork in East Stratton 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 photos complete the record. If you have a rancid smell from the extract duct and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, we can help.
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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

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. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to East Stratton can be planned properly.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A fault that closes a site in a village like East Stratton affects everyone who depends on it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not switch the extract off early
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.

East Stratton questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East Stratton?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers East Stratton?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Stratton. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.

What else we do in East Stratton
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Faulty fire dampers
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
