Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Townhill Park
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with grease leaking from duct joints and sections of duct with no access panels, on vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
In a smaller place like Townhill Park, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a place like Townhill Park, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Townhill Park?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
For schools such as Townhill Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Townhill Park kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 19 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Townhill Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Townhill Park. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Southampton council inspect food businesses in Townhill Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Townhill Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Townhill Park (South Stoneham House is about 0.9 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Common questions in Townhill Park
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Townhill Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Townhill Park is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Townhill Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long will the duct clean take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
