Duct cleaning in Passfield
We cover Passfield for ductwork cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
When to call us in Passfield
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mill Chase Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Passfield
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you have readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and access panels onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Passfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

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, alongside our reports.
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. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Passfield hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. A fault that closes a site in a village like Passfield affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fully insured
- Every visit written up, with pictures
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Passfield is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Related advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What a clean won’t put right
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Passfield questions
Do you work at weekends in Passfield?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Passfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Passfield?
Yes. Passfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Passfield
In Passfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Passfield 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 1.5 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
