Ductwork cleaning in Upton Grey, Hampshire
Ductwork cleaning for Upton Grey, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Upton Grey hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. In a place like Upton Grey, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Upton Grey
No two duct runs are the same, in Upton Grey or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. If you are dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and years of grease along the duct floor, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and attenuators onwards.
Somewhere as small as Upton Grey, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Upton Grey?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Upton Grey is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west.

Upton Grey: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Upton Grey?
Yes, Upton Grey is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Upton Grey?
The local authority for Upton Grey is Basingstoke and Deane 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Upton Grey
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Upton Grey before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
