About our ductwork cleaning in Haslar
Each extract duct we take on in Haslar goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are duct runs that can’t be reached and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
For a kitchen in or near Haslar, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ductwork cleaning in Haslar: the local picture
Haslar is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 64 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 24 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Haslar. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. The fire and rescue service for Haslar 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Haselworth Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Francis or anywhere around Haslar, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a village like Haslar are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

FAQs for Haslar
Will you come out to Haslar?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is ductwork cleaning any different in a coastal place like Haslar?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Haslar than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Access panels
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
What we are called out for in Haslar
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Haslar is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-west.
What to look for in a quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, and that is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Keep your cleaning records together
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
