Ductwork cleaning in Sparsholt
Each extract duct we take on in Sparsholt goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. We are often asked to deal with grease seeping out of the duct seams and sections of duct with no access panels, across horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and access panels.
Work in a small place like Sparsholt starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sparsholt before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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. That is our job.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Ductwork cleaning around Sparsholt
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Sparsholt. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Sparsholt, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sparsholt is Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 2.5 miles south-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in Sparsholt, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Sparsholt is about 3 miles north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. Sparsholt gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Sparsholt is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. We also work in Southampton, about 11 miles from Sparsholt.
We work across SO21 for ductwork cleaning and the roads nearby. Local streets include Home Lane, Church Lane and Woodman Lane, all of which we cover for ductwork cleaning. If your site is just outside Sparsholt, we cover Westley (1 mile north-west), Littleton (1 mile north-east), Harestock (2 miles east), Weeke (2 miles east) and Stanmore (3 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (3 miles south-east), Eastleigh (8 miles south), Andover (10 miles north-west), Totton (12 miles south-west), Chandler's Ford (7 miles south) and Hedge End (12 miles south).
Around Sparsholt
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Plough Inn and Kings' School, among other places. Sparsholt’s nearest station is Winchester station, roughly 2.7 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Winchester Castle (2.8 miles south-east) and Balfour Museum of Hampshire Red Cross History (2.1 miles south-east). Not far away are Winnall Moors and Twyford Down.
What we are called out for in Sparsholt
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
For schools such as Sparsholt Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Sparsholt is calmer for everyone.
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’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Sparsholt
Which fire authority looks after Sparsholt?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sparsholt. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Sparsholt after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Sparsholt keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work in Sparsholt?
Yes. Sparsholt is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How long will the duct clean take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
