Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Bailey's Hard
Can school kitchens in Bailey's Hard be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Bailey's Hard, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bailey's Hard?
Bailey's Hard is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
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.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
We plan the clean when you’re not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Bailey's Hard
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can put it right, from vertical risers, bends and junctions and attenuators onwards.
In a small place like Bailey's Hard, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 carry full insurance.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Bailey's Hard
The coast is only about 2 miles from Bailey's Hard. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Bailey's Hard and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Bailey's Hard, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child or elsewhere in Bailey's Hard, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 0.8 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Beaulieu Village Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Bailey's Hard hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Bailey's Hard
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. That’s our job.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bailey's Hard.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
