- Grease leaking from duct joints
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Ductwork cleaning in Sarisbury
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. We are often asked to deal with a duct nobody has opened in years and duct runs that can’t be reached, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Sarisbury gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Sarisbury
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sarisbury Church of England Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a place like Sarisbury, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep your cleaning records together
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Sarisbury
Can you get to a site in Sarisbury?
Yes, Sarisbury is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sarisbury?
The local authority for Sarisbury is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Sarisbury?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Kitchen extracts in Sarisbury
Sea air reaches Sarisbury, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 pubs and bars across Sarisbury and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Sarisbury sits within the area of 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 Coldeast, about under half a mile south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Swanwick station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
