Ductwork cleaning in Baughurst
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you have readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Baughurst
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Baughurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Other services in Baughurst
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the visit works
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 the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a village like Baughurst are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

- Duct runs with no cleaning record

FAQs for Baughurst
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Baughurst?
Kitchens in Baughurst are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can a school canteen extract in Baughurst be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Baughurst, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Grease, kitchens and Baughurst
Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in Baughurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Baughurst. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Baughurst. 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.
