Ductwork cleaning in Hungerford
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about high readings at a recent grease test and a duct nobody has opened in years.
Work in a small place like Hungerford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Hungerford
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Hungerford kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Hungerford, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Hungerford are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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. Fire safety in Hungerford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in Hungerford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Hungerford, such as Breamore House about 4.3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What a clean will not put right

- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)

What the work covers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Don’t switch the extract off early
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Common questions in Hungerford
Do you cover smaller places like Hungerford?
Yes. Hungerford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Hungerford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hungerford can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Hungerford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
