How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Penton Corner knowing what to expect.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system

Ductwork cleaning in Penton Corner, done properly
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 photos. Common call-outs are for a duct clean needed for an insurer and sections of duct with no access panels, across vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
In a small place like Penton Corner, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

Ductwork cleaning in Penton Corner: the local picture
There are about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways across Penton Corner and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Penton Corner. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Penton Corner is 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.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Portway Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Penton Corner
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Penton Corner, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why deal with it now?
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. In a small place like Penton Corner, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Questions from Penton Corner
Which fire service covers Penton Corner?
Fire safety enforcement in Penton Corner is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Penton Corner?
The local authority for Penton Corner is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
