Ductwork cleaning in the Isle of Wight: how it works

Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for fat dripping from the ductwork and duct runs with no cleaning record, across vertical risers, access panels and attenuators.

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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.

The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
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.
Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

Ductwork cleaning across the Isle of Wight: local notes

Kitchens across the Isle of Wight cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.

We work across London and the South East, and the Isle of Wight is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.

Newport: A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about 0.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Newport (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1 mile south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

What happens if it’s left?

A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned.

What we are called out for in the Isle of Wight

Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.

What we are most often called out for:

Ductwork that has never been cleaned
A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Fat dripping from the ductwork

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Different parts, different methods

Attenuators and discharge

Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.

Horizontal duct runs

Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.

Aftercare tips

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

Book the next clean before the recommended date
Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Never cook with a filter missing

Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.

The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.

FAQs for the Isle of Wight

What about areas you cannot get to?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

How do you clean inside the ductwork?

We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.

Which accreditations do you hold?

Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?

A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.

Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?

Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
