Ductwork cleaning in North Camp
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about gaps where access panels were never fitted and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like North Camp gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We plan the journey to North Camp and bring what the job is likely to need.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in North Camp
Can the work in North Camp be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in North Camp?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and North Camp is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What affects the quote in North Camp
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Want a quote for ductwork cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease left in a duct in North Camp hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Booking now means the visit to North Camp is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in North Camp
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Where a hall near St Mark, or anywhere in North Camp, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
Other services in North Camp
North Camp kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 90 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 35 takeaways in North Camp and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers North Camp. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in North Camp get their food hygiene inspections from Rushmoor council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mark's Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near North Camp station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Part by part
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.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
What a clean won’t put right
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
