How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Murrell Green.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Murrell Green
If the ducts in Murrell Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for sections of duct with no access panels and fat dripping from the ductwork, across horizontal duct runs, access panels and attenuators.
In a small place like Murrell Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Ductwork cleaning in Murrell Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in and around Murrell Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Murrell Green are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Murrell Green is covered by 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Murrell Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Hook Junior School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common problems we fix in Murrell Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Run the extract fan throughout service
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
