Ductwork cleaning in Liss
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. We’re often asked to deal with a duct nobody has opened in years and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on vertical risers, attenuators and bends and junctions.
In a smaller place like Liss, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures 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.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business

Leave it or put it right?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Liss than wait for a failure.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

How it works
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’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Around Liss, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Liss kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Liss and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Liss sits within the area of 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. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Liss. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you cook for passing trade around Liss station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 3.6 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Common questions in Liss
Is Liss within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Liss is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Liss?
Food hygiene inspections in Liss are carried out by East Hampshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
What we are called out for in Liss
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Liss, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
