Ductwork cleaning in South Hayling, done properly
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers access panels, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about duct runs that can’t be reached and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
Kitchens around a place like South Hayling are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for South Hayling
Who inspects food businesses in South Hayling?
Kitchens in South Hayling are inspected by Havant council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in South Hayling in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of South Hayling. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
What happens if it’s left?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. A quieter site near South Hayling still needs its system looked after.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a place like South Hayling, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Kitchen extracts in South Hayling
Sea air reaches South Hayling, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 35 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 18 takeaways in and around South Hayling, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Hayling. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to South Hayling is St James Hospital, about 3.3 miles west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mengham Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in South Hayling
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Common problems we fix in South Hayling
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around South Hayling (Warblington Castle is about 3.9 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
