Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shedfield
Each extract duct we take on in Shedfield goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. We’re often asked to deal with stale grease odours from the duct and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, across access panels, vertical risers and bends and junctions.
Somewhere as small as Shedfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Shedfield
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shedfield, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ductwork cleaning around Shedfield
Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Shedfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Shedfield 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. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Shedfield. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John or elsewhere in Shedfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 2.4 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Shedfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

FAQs for Shedfield
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shedfield?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shedfield. 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 work in villages like Shedfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shedfield is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Shedfield?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Diarise the next duct clean
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
