Kitchen duct cleaning in Ampfield
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and plenums and filters onwards. Most calls from Ampfield come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the baffle filters clean
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ampfield run smoothly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ampfield
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ampfield affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Kitchen extracts in Ampfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Ampfield. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Ampfield get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Ampfield falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Ampfield Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 2.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Ampfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
