How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hound Green
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have grease seeping out of the duct seams and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hound Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Hound Green
Do you work at weekends in Hound Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Hound Green?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hound Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
Is Hound Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Hound Green and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What else we do in Hound Green
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hound Green
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hound Green and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Hound Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Hound Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Hound Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Hound Green is covered by 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. Kitchens in Hound Green get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Mattingley Church or anywhere around Hound Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hound Green is Fleet Community Hospital, about 5.3 miles south-east. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 2.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Hound Green is about 5 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. We provide ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Hound Green and the rest of Hampshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hound Green
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. A planned visit to Hound Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Hound Green
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Hound Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
