Duct cleaning in Milland
Looking for ductwork cleaning in Milland? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Sections of duct with no access panels
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Milland is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, 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 work begins.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Milland
Each extract duct we take on in Milland goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and vertical risers, and people most often call us about fat dripping from the ductwork and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
In a village or hamlet like Milland, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Milland
Ducts in Milland gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 4.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Milland and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What affects the quote in Milland
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.

Questions from Milland
Who is the fire and rescue service for Milland?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Milland. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Milland during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Milland. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Ductwork cleaning around Milland
Fire safety in Milland falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Milland. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hollycombe Primary School or anywhere near Milland, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Tuxlith Chapel, or anywhere in Milland, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
