How we handle ductwork cleaning in Thruxton
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. Common call-outs are for smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and attenuators.
Work in a small place like Thruxton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thruxton
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
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 can quote for the whole system.

Common problems we fix in Thruxton
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Amport Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Thruxton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Kitchen extracts in Thruxton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Thruxton. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Thruxton get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Thruxton. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Thruxton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Thruxton is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.9 miles east.
Thruxton is about 4 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Thruxton, we can take on ductwork cleaning.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Thruxton knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Why it’s worth doing now in Thruxton
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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
