Ductwork cleaning in Faberstown, Hampshire
Ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Faberstown. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Faberstown
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have a duct clean needed for an insurer and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.

Ductwork cleaning in Faberstown: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Faberstown are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Faberstown 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Faberstown is about 5 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Sites in Faberstown get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Faberstown is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for ductwork cleaning. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 24 miles from Faberstown.
All of SP11 is covered for ductwork cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. You’ll find streets such as Andover Road and Shoddesden Lane, all of which we cover for ductwork cleaning.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
After the clean, the same points are tested again, 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. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Faberstown
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. If the system at a site near Faberstown fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Faberstown
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter in the Wood or elsewhere in Faberstown, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Faberstown before we set off.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Questions from Faberstown
Do you work at weekends in Faberstown?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Faberstown needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Faberstown?
The local authority for Faberstown is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
