Ductwork cleaning in Mullenspond, done properly
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. If you’re dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can help, from bends and junctions, access panels and horizontal duct runs onwards.
In a small place like Mullenspond, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Ductwork cleaning in Mullenspond: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mullenspond. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Mullenspond. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Mullenspond are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Mullenspond, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Amport Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 3.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Mullenspond before we set off.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Mullenspond: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Mullenspond?
Yes, Mullenspond is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Mullenspond?
Kitchens in Mullenspond are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
