Ductwork cleaning in Ibworth, Hampshire
Looking for ductwork cleaning in Ibworth? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. We will recommend where they should go.
About our ductwork cleaning in Ibworth
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for years of grease along the duct floor and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across attenuators, access panels and bends and junctions.
In a small place like Ibworth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
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. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. In a small place like Ibworth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Ibworth questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ibworth?
Yes, Ibworth is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ibworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Ibworth are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Ibworth
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Attenuators
What we are called out for in Ibworth
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Ductwork cleaning around Ibworth
Fire safety in Ibworth falls to 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. In Ibworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
