What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Ductwork cleaning in Hampton, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. If you have thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and duct runs that can’t be reached, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and access panels onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Hampton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Hampton
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hampton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hampton
The coast is only about 1 mile from Hampton. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 23 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Hampton. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Hampton falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Hampton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about 2.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Hampton
Can you get to a site in Hampton?
Yes. Hampton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hampton?
The local authority for Hampton is Canterbury City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We plan the clean when you’re not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
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 a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Everything the job in Hampton needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
