Duct cleaning in Oakshott
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels for Oakshott, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Oakshott can be planned properly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Ductwork cleaning in Oakshott, done properly
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers access panels, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are grease leaking from duct joints and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
For a kitchen in or near Oakshott, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
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, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Oakshott
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Oakshott
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Ductwork cleaning around Oakshott
In Oakshott, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oakshott is about 48 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 2.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Oakshott, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Oakshott is about 3 miles north of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Oakshott or further out, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Oakshott
Will you come out to Oakshott?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Oakshott is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Oakshott?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Oakshott keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Short runs are quick, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Never cook with a filter missing
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.
