Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Ductwork cleaning around Hartley Wespall
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Hartley Wespall 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. Fire safety in Hartley Wespall falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hartley Wespall are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 5.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin or elsewhere in Hartley Wespall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hartley Wespall
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Hartley Wespall
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Historic houses near Hartley Wespall, such as Stratfield Saye House about 2.3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.

Advice
FAQs for Hartley Wespall
Which council inspects kitchens in Hartley Wespall?
In Hartley Wespall, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Hartley Wespall?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hartley Wespall doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
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.
Do you cover Hartley Wespall?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Hartley Wespall.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hartley Wespall affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
