Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingsmead
Each extract duct we take on in Kingsmead goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you are dealing with thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Kingsmead, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Kingsmead
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kingsmead?
Food hygiene inspections in Kingsmead are carried out by Winchester City council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Kingsmead after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Kingsmead needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you work in Kingsmead?
Yes. We work in Kingsmead and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Kingsmead?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

What else we do in Kingsmead
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Kingsmead.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. With notice, the visit to Kingsmead can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Kingsmead
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Ductwork cleaning around Kingsmead
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kingsmead. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Kingsmead are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Kingsmead falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like Swanmore College of Technology for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Don’t switch the extract off early
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
