Questions from Hawkley
Do you work at weekends in Hawkley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hawkley keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Hawkley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hawkley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is Hawkley in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Hawkley included.
How long will the duct clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
About our ductwork cleaning in Hawkley
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs with no cleaning record and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs.
Somewhere as small as Hawkley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Planning a trip to Hawkley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a village like Hawkley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hawkley
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hawkley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Hawkley kitchens: local notes
Hawkley, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Hawkley get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Hawkley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Hawkley is about 4 miles north of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We carry out ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Hawkley and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Hawkley among them. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 18 miles away.
Work in GU33 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We also cover Lower Green (1 mile north), Oakshott (1 mile south-west), Empshott (2 miles north), Steep Marsh (2 miles south) and Steep (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Havant (14 miles south), Horndean (11 miles south), Aldershot (15 miles north-east), Alton (7 miles north), Waterlooville (13 miles south) and Petersfield (4 miles south).
Local landmarks in Hawkley

Other landmarks nearby include The Romany Museum (2.7 miles north) and Petersfield Community Hospital (3.6 miles south). The countryside around Hawkley includes Wheatham Hill and Liss Riverside Railway Walk South.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
