Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in King's Somborne
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include grease pooling at the foot of the riser and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and horizontal duct runs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens if it’s left?
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. Planning a trip to King's Somborne ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to King's Somborne.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Common problems we fix in King's Somborne
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. 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:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Years of grease along the duct floor
For schools such as King's Somborne Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
