Ductwork cleaning in Titchfield Common, done properly
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We are often asked to deal with a rancid smell from the extract duct and high readings at a recent grease test, on bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Titchfield Common gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles 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 47 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Titchfield Common. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. The fire and rescue service for Titchfield Common is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fareham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Titchfield Common, about 1.3 miles north-west.

Titchfield Common: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Titchfield Common?
The local authority for Titchfield Common is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does being near the coast affect ductwork cleaning in Titchfield Common?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Titchfield Common gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Is Titchfield Common in your area?
Yes. We work in Titchfield Common and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What else we do in Titchfield Common
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Never cook with a filter missing
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Titchfield Common when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Titchfield Common?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Titchfield Common or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John or elsewhere in Titchfield Common, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
