Duct cleaning in Langstone
We cover Langstone for cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Langstone
Grease filters that don’t seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 0.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Langstone
Each extract duct we take on in Langstone goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. If you are dealing with duct runs with no cleaning record and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Why act early in Langstone
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. A planned visit to Langstone is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fully insured
- In business since 2009

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Langstone
Langstone lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses across Langstone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Langstone is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 1.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Bosmere Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Langstone is about 2 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Langstone or further out, we cover ductwork cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Langstone is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for ductwork cleaning.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Langstone, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Leave a way through to the access panels
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.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
