Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wherwell
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and attenuators, and people most often call us about high readings at a recent grease test and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
In a small place like Wherwell, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have 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 carry full insurance.

Wherwell kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Wherwell, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Wherwell get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. 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 Wherwell. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and Holy Cross or anywhere around Wherwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wherwell Primary School or anywhere near Wherwell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wherwell is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4 miles north-west.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Wherwell
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Why deal with it now?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. In a small place like Wherwell, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wherwell.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Duct sections that need replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Wherwell
Which fire authority looks after Wherwell?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wherwell. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Wherwell?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Wherwell can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long will the duct clean take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
