Ductwork cleaning in Kimpton
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a duct nobody has opened in years and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
In a village or hamlet like Kimpton, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Ductwork cleaning around Kimpton
The fire and rescue service for Kimpton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kimpton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Kimpton, about 4.6 miles east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Kimpton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Leave a way through to the access panels
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Why act early in Kimpton
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. With notice, the visit to Kimpton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Kimpton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
