Ductwork cleaning in Bartley, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can help, from bends and junctions, attenuators and horizontal duct runs onwards.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
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, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Bartley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we are called out for in Bartley
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tatchbury Mount Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bartley, about 1.8 miles north-east.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Why it’s worth doing now in Bartley
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bartley affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Bartley

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Vertical risers

- Multi-storey ducts

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bartley knowing what to expect.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Bartley: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Bartley?
The local authority for Bartley is New Forest 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 you work at weekends in Bartley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bartley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Ductwork cleaning around Bartley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs across Bartley 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. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Bartley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Bartley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Bartley Church of England Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
