About our ductwork cleaning in Warnford
No two duct runs are the same, in Warnford or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where access panels were never fitted and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
In a village or hamlet like Warnford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Ductwork cleaning around Warnford
Warnford sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Warnford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Our Lady, or anywhere in Warnford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 3.1 miles north-west), access may need planning.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Warnford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
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, before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
