Ductwork cleaning in Knights Enham
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. If you are dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right, from vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and access panels onwards.
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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed 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. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Knights Enham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.

- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.

- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.

Advice
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Make sure filters are seated properly
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Knights Enham
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Kitchen extracts in Knights Enham
There are about 53 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 27 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Knights Enham, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. The fire and rescue service for Knights Enham is 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. In Knights Enham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos 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 Roman Way Primary School or anywhere near Knights Enham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Knights Enham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
