Havant ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for Havant, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19. 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. If an inspection, an insurer’s survey or a fire risk assessment is coming up in Havant, having the work done and recorded first helps.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

About our ductwork cleaning in Havant
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for a rancid smell from the extract duct and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Havant, losing a day’s trade to cleaning isn’t an option, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Havant
Havant: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Havant be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Havant. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Havant?
It can. Salt air reaches Havant, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work in Havant?
Yes. Havant is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Kitchen extracts in Havant
Sea air reaches Havant, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 19 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Havant. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Havant council inspect food businesses in Havant. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A kitchen near Havant station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. School kitchens, at schools like Trosnant Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Havant will be.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Havant
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Havant?
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- 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 Havant is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 0.6 miles south.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Havant
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
