How we handle ductwork cleaning in Segensworth
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can put it right.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Segensworth
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Segensworth
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Segensworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Segensworth are carried out by Winchester City council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Segensworth in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Segensworth, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is Segensworth in your area?
Yes. We work in Segensworth and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a village like Segensworth are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Attenuators
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Segensworth
Segensworth is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 60 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Segensworth. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Segensworth sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near St John, or anywhere in Segensworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fareham Community Hospital about 1.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Segensworth is about 3 miles north-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Segensworth, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with.

Around Segensworth

When to call us in Segensworth
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cornerstone CofE (VA) Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.

What else we do in Segensworth
Why it’s worth doing now in Segensworth
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. Planning a trip to Segensworth ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
