Duct cleaning in Rotherwick
Ductwork cleaning for Rotherwick, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rotherwick
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached and years of grease along the duct floor, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.

Grease, kitchens and Rotherwick
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rotherwick. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Rotherwick is covered by 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. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rotherwick. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.2 miles north), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Rotherwick Church, or anywhere in Rotherwick, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rotherwick is Fleet Community Hospital, about 5.5 miles east.
Rotherwick is about 6 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Across the RG27 area, we cover ductwork cleaning for commercial sites. Rotherwick is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. We also work in Reading, about 10 miles from Rotherwick.

What’s near Rotherwick

The countryside around Rotherwick includes Dogmersfield Lake and The Mill Field.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Rotherwick questions
Do you work in villages like Rotherwick?
Yes, Rotherwick is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Rotherwick?
In Rotherwick, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work 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 Rotherwick can be planned properly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Rotherwick
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need ductwork cleaning in Rotherwick, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
