Ductwork Cleaning in Langrish
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Langrish, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Langrish, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading

Ductwork cleaning in Langrish
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. Common call-outs are for sections of duct with no access panels and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, on attenuators, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
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. 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Langrish?
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Sections of duct with no access panels
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Langrish, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
Kitchen extracts in Langrish
Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Langrish. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Langrish is covered by 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.
For schools such as Langrish Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Langrish, about 2.3 miles east.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Langrish
Which fire service covers Langrish?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Langrish?
Kitchens in Langrish are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Langrish?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. In a place like Langrish, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
