Ductwork cleaning in Longstock
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include a rancid smell from the extract duct and duct runs with no cleaning record, on bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels.
For a kitchen in or near Longstock, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Longstock
Do you work at weekends in Longstock?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Longstock?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Longstock included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Longstock
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Longstock
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Longstock. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Longstock are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Test Valley School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Longstock, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 5.8 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Longstock is about 5 miles south of Andover, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Longstock, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What we do, step by step
We are 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. Somewhere like Longstock, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- 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, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Longstock
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls

- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why deal with it now?
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 worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
