Ductwork cleaning in Woodlands, Hampshire
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Woodlands, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Ductwork cleaning in Woodlands, done properly
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Woodlands, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Woodlands
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere like Woodlands, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Woodlands
What we are called out for in Woodlands
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Woodlands as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
If you cook for passing trade around Ashurst New Forest station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Woodlands questions
Will you come out to Woodlands?
Yes. Woodlands is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Woodlands?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Woodlands. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Woodlands
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Woodlands, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Woodlands. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Woodlands. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Woodlands, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
