Ductwork cleaning in Hatherden
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and the jobs we see most are duct runs with no cleaning record and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
Somewhere as small as Hatherden, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hatherden?
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’re asked about most include:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hatherden, about 2.6 miles south.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Hatherden, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Hatherden questions
Is Hatherden within the area you cover?
Yes. Hatherden 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.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hatherden?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How long will the duct clean 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.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
We plan the clean when you are not cooking. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
Ductwork cleaning in Hatherden: the local picture
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hatherden. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hatherden is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Hatherden Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Christchurch or anywhere around Hatherden, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Why act early in Hatherden
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Hatherden doesn’t stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
