Duct cleaning in Martyr Worthy
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Martyr Worthy. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Martyr Worthy before we set off.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Martyr Worthy
Each extract duct we take on in Martyr Worthy goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. We are often asked to deal with thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, across access panels, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Martyr Worthy
Why it’s worth doing now in Martyr Worthy
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Martyr Worthy doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Martyr Worthy rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

What we are called out for in Martyr Worthy
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Martyr Worthy as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 3.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Ductwork cleaning in Martyr Worthy: the local picture
Martyr Worthy, about 57 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Martyr Worthy. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Swithin, or anywhere in Martyr Worthy, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Martyr Worthy questions
Who inspects food businesses in Martyr Worthy?
Food hygiene inspections in Martyr Worthy are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Martyr Worthy within the area you cover?
Yes. Martyr Worthy is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
