Ductwork cleaning in Kings Worthy, done properly

If the ducts in Kings Worthy haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts.

Somewhere as small as Kings Worthy, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Kings Worthy: your questions answered

Which environmental health team covers Kings Worthy?

The local authority for Kings Worthy is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Do you work at weekends in Kings Worthy?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Kings Worthy does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?

Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.

Do you install duct access panels?

Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.

What accreditations do you have?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?

Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

When to call us in Kings Worthy

Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • Sections of duct with no access panels
  • Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
  • Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
  • Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test

Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Kings Worthy is St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 2 miles south.

Questions to ask before you book

Kings Worthy kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records list about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Kings Worthy and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. The fire and rescue service for Kings Worthy is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kings Worthy. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kings Worthy Primary School or anywhere near Kings Worthy, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Kings Worthy, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site

Access panels

Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.

Attenuators and discharge

The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.

Leave it or put it right?

TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Why us?

  • Photo reports with every job
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Survey first, then a fixed quote

What we do, step by step

We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Kings Worthy before we set off.

  1. We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
  2. We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
  3. We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
  4. The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
  5. Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.

How to prepare

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
