How we handle ductwork cleaning in Brookhampton
Ductwork in Brookhampton is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. If you have sections of duct with no access panels and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can put it right, from vertical risers, access panels and attenuators onwards.
In a small place like Brookhampton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Brookhampton?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Brookhampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The timing of a visit to Brookhampton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a place like Brookhampton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Brookhampton
Which fire authority looks after Brookhampton?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Brookhampton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers Brookhampton?
Food hygiene inspections in Brookhampton are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
