Nob's Crook ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for Nob's Crook, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep your cleaning records together
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Nob's Crook
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Common call-outs are for duct runs with no cleaning record and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, on access panels, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like Nob's Crook starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Nob's Crook questions
Which fire service covers Nob's Crook?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Nob's Crook after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Nob's Crook doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is Nob's Crook in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Nob's Crook included.

Ductwork cleaning around Nob's Crook
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Nob's Crook, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Nob's Crook falls to 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. Kitchens in Nob's Crook get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nob's Crook is Moorgreen Hospital, about 4.2 miles south. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Colden Common Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Nob's Crook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Multi-storey ducts

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
