What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls

Ductwork cleaning in Hursley
Each extract duct we take on in Hursley goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease at the base of a riser and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
Somewhere as small as Hursley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hursley.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hursley?
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Bursars and site managers at schools such as John Keble Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why act early in Hursley
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. With notice, the visit to Hursley can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

Ductwork cleaning around Hursley
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hursley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Food hygiene inspections in Hursley are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hursley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
