Ductwork cleaning in Fleet
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it 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. Typical jobs include ductwork that has never been cleaned and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, on bends and junctions, attenuators and horizontal duct runs.
Many kitchens in a town like Fleet were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we cannot reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Fleet.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Fleet kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 44 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 22 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fleet. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Fleet 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. Kitchens in Fleet get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Heatherside Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Fleet (Farnham Castle is about 4.1 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Fleet Methodist Church or elsewhere in Fleet, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Fleet is about 13 miles south-east of Reading, in Hampshire. From the centre of Fleet to the outskirts, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Guildford page covers sites nearby, about 12 miles away.

Questions from Fleet
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Fleet during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Fleet, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Fleet?
Kitchens in Fleet are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What affects the quote in Fleet
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. 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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
