In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Posbrook
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. Typical jobs include a grease test showing the duct is overdue and duct runs that can’t be reached, on access panels, vertical risers and attenuators.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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.

What affects the quote in Little Posbrook
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
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.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For ductwork cleaning in Little Posbrook, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
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.
Common questions in Little Posbrook
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Little Posbrook?
The local authority for Little Posbrook is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Little Posbrook?
Yes. Little Posbrook is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Little Posbrook
The coast is only about 1 mile from Little Posbrook. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Little Posbrook. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Little Posbrook falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Little Posbrook, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Little Posbrook knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
