Ductwork cleaning in Farleigh Wallop
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from vertical risers, attenuators and access panels onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Farleigh Wallop, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Farleigh Wallop.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Common questions in Farleigh Wallop
Will you come out to Farleigh Wallop?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Farleigh Wallop included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Farleigh Wallop needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we’re called out for in Farleigh Wallop
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Farleigh Wallop 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.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease leaking from duct joints
School kitchens, at schools like Brighton Hill Community School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When the next visit should be, and why
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.

Other services in Farleigh Wallop
Grease, kitchens and Farleigh Wallop
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Farleigh Wallop and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Farleigh Wallop sits within the area of 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. In Farleigh Wallop, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane 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.
Where a hall near Church of St. Andrew, or anywhere in Farleigh Wallop, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 5 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
