Ductwork cleaning in Blissford
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. Typical jobs include years of grease along the duct floor and stale grease odours from the duct, on bends and junctions, vertical risers and access panels.
In a small place like Blissford, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Blissford questions
Which fire service covers Blissford?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Blissford. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Blissford?
Food hygiene inspections in Blissford are carried out by New Forest council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Leave a way through to the access panels
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Blissford.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

What else we do in Blissford
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
