Duct cleaning in Otterbourne

Part by part

Attenuators and discharge

Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.

Horizontal duct runs

Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.

For landlords and multi-site operators

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Kitchen extracts in Otterbourne

The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Otterbourne. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Otterbourne. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Otterbourne sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Matthew or elsewhere in Otterbourne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital (about 3.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
