How we handle ductwork cleaning in Little Hoddington
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. We’re often asked to deal with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, on attenuators, bends and junctions and access panels.
In a small place like Little Hoddington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Ductwork cleaning around Little Hoddington
In Little Hoddington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Little Hoddington is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Little Hoddington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.

Other services in Little Hoddington
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Little Hoddington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- 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, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Little Hoddington questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Little Hoddington?
In Little Hoddington, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Little Hoddington?
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.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, and test again when we are done.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
We plan the clean when you’re not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
When to call us in Little Hoddington
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 6 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Little Hoddington
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Little Hoddington does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Little Hoddington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
