Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hinton Ampner
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with stale grease odours from the duct and high readings at a recent grease test, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions.
For a kitchen in or near Hinton Ampner, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Hinton Ampner
Do you cover smaller places like Hinton Ampner?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hinton Ampner is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hinton Ampner?
In Hinton Ampner, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Hinton Ampner
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Hinton Ampner
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hinton Ampner before we set off.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
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, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
Grease, kitchens and Hinton Ampner
The fire and rescue service for Hinton Ampner is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Hinton Ampner is about 55 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hinton Ampner (Hinton Ampner House is about 0.3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Hinton Ampner, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cheriton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Hinton Ampner is about 7 miles east of Winchester, in Hampshire.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
