How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stonehills
Each extract duct we take on in Stonehills 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. If you have hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can put it right, from access panels, horizontal duct runs and attenuators onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Stonehills, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stonehills
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Stonehills
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
School kitchens, at schools like Fawley Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Grease, kitchens and Stonehills
Sea air reaches Stonehills, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stonehills. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Stonehills 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Stonehills, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Stonehills is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Stonehills, we can take on ductwork cleaning.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.

Questions from Stonehills
Do you work in villages like Stonehills?
Yes. Stonehills is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Stonehills?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
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 photos.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stonehills.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
