What affects the quote in Hartley Wintney
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
About our ductwork cleaning in Hartley Wintney
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you have duct runs that can’t be reached and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right, from attenuators, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts onwards.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Hartley Wintney gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

More services for Hartley Wintney
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hartley Wintney?
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Sections of duct with no access panels
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 2.6 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hartley Wintney
Dealing with the ductwork in Hartley Wintney now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Trading since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One number for every site across the South East and London
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hartley Wintney
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Hartley Wintney. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Hartley Wintney are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Hartley Wintney is 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.

What we do, step by step

- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Common questions in Hartley Wintney
Can you come to Hartley Wintney after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hartley Wintney keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which fire service covers Hartley Wintney?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hartley Wintney. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you do with what you remove?
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 if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
