Middle Wallop kitchens: local notes
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Middle Wallop. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Middle Wallop is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wallop Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Middle Wallop
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have a duct nobody has opened in years and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Middle Wallop, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Middle Wallop
Do you work in villages like Middle Wallop?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Middle Wallop included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Middle Wallop?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Middle Wallop. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
What we are called out for in Middle Wallop
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Middle Wallop, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When the next visit should be, and why
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Middle Wallop can be planned properly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote

- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
