What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hattingley
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hattingley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Hattingley is about 50 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Hattingley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Medstead Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Hattingley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. We carry out ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Hattingley and the rest of Hampshire. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 20 miles from Hattingley.
Work in GU34 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If your site is just outside Hattingley, we cover South Town (1 mile east), New Copse (1 mile north-east), Soldridge (2 miles south), Medstead (2 miles south-east) and Holt End (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (9 miles north), Winchester (11 miles south-west), Fleet (15 miles north-east), Alton (5 miles east), Petersfield (11 miles south-east) and Bordon (10 miles east).
Around Hattingley
Well-known places in the area include Barton Castle (1.4 miles west) and Alton Community Hospital (4.1 miles east). The countryside around Hattingley includes King's Hill.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hattingley
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers access panels, attenuators and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork that has never been cleaned and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a small place like Hattingley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common questions in Hattingley
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hattingley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hattingley. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Hattingley after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
What we are called out for in Hattingley
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- High readings at a recent grease test
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 1.9 miles north-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
