- A duct nobody has opened in years
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Part by part
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Ductwork cleaning in Marchwood, done properly
Ductwork in Marchwood is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you are dealing with thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can help, from attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Marchwood, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we are called out for in Marchwood
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Marchwood is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
For schools such as Marchwood Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning around Marchwood
At about 1 mile from the coast, Marchwood is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways across Marchwood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. In Marchwood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Apostle or elsewhere in Marchwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Marchwood (Southampton Tudor House and Garden is about 2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Marchwood is about 3 miles south-east of Totton, in Hampshire. From the centre of Marchwood to the outskirts, we cover ductwork cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Marchwood is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for ductwork cleaning.
All of SO40 is within our area for ductwork cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Streets in the area include Cranberry Close, Melick Close and The Rowans, and we cover them all for ductwork cleaning.

Local landmarks in Marchwood
In Marchwood, that means kitchens and buildings near White Horse pub and Hounsdown School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Millbrook (Hants) station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Netley Castle (4.1 miles east) and Westquay (2.1 miles east). For a walk, there’s Testwood Lakes.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Marchwood
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Marchwood?
The local authority for Marchwood is New Forest 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 Marchwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Marchwood can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
