Hampshire · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Easton, Hampshire
Ductwork cleaning for Easton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
What we’re called out for in Easton
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease leaking from duct joints
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 2.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Ductwork cleaning in Easton, done properly
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers access panels, bends and junctions and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and stale grease odours from the duct.
In a small place like Easton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Visits to a village like Easton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
Why it’s worth doing now in Easton
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Ductwork cleaning in Easton: the local picture
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Easton, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Kitchens in Easton get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Easton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Easton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Peter Symonds College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Easton
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
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.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.

Questions from Easton
Do you work in villages like Easton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Easton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Easton?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Easton. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
