Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Liphook
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Liphook, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

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. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What affects the quote in Liphook
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Liphook kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Liphook. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Liphook sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Liphook are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a café or takeaway near Liphook station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bohunt School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Around Liphook, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote

Advice
FAQs for Liphook
Is Liphook within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Liphook is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in Liphook be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Liphook. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Liphook
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Liphook as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church Centre or anywhere around Liphook, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
