Hampshire · Ductwork cleaning
Badger Farm ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Badger Farm from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
About our ductwork cleaning in Badger Farm
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers bends and junctions, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are fat dripping from the ductwork and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
In a smaller place like Badger Farm, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Booking now means the visit to Badger Farm is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

- High readings at a recent grease test
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint Luke or anywhere around Badger Farm, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Ductwork cleaning in Badger Farm: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 21 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Badger Farm and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Badger Farm. 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 Badger Farm. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

What else we do in Badger Farm
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
The process
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a place like Badger Farm are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Badger Farm?
The local authority for Badger Farm is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
