Ductwork cleaning in Mattingley, Hampshire
Ductwork cleaning for Mattingley, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Ductwork cleaning in Mattingley, done properly
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. Typical jobs include smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, across multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions 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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Grease, kitchens and Mattingley
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Mattingley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Mattingley, about 39 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Stratfield Saye House, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Mattingley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near Mattingley Church, or anywhere in Mattingley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mattingley
Dealing with the ductwork in Mattingley now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Mattingley?
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mattingley is Fleet Community Hospital, about 4.7 miles south-east.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What staff can safely do
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.

What else we do in Mattingley
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Mattingley can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.

Advice
Common questions in Mattingley
Can you come to Mattingley after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Mattingley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mattingley?
Food hygiene inspections in Mattingley are carried out by Hart council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
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 information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
