Common questions in Hambledon
Can you come to Hambledon after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hambledon keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hambledon?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hambledon. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
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. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hambledon
If the ducts in Hambledon haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels, and the jobs we see most are years of grease along the duct floor and duct runs that can’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Hambledon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hambledon, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hambledon
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hambledon?
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.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Hambledon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
