Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Hiltingbury
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Ductwork cleaning in Hiltingbury
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. Typical jobs include grease leaking from duct joints and ductwork that has never been cleaned, on access panels, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts.
For a smaller kitchen near Hiltingbury, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hiltingbury kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 pubs, bars and clubs in Hiltingbury and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hiltingbury. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Hiltingbury falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
South Stoneham House, about 4.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Hiltingbury; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. School kitchens, at schools like Hiltingbury Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common questions in Hiltingbury
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hiltingbury?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Hiltingbury?
In Hiltingbury, it’s Eastleigh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is Hiltingbury in your area?
Yes. We work in Hiltingbury and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens on the day
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 from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a smaller place like Hiltingbury, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- 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 photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, which is where we come in.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Hiltingbury
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Hiltingbury is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Where a hall near St. Martin in the Woods, or anywhere in Hiltingbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
