Ductwork cleaning in Compton
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you have a duct nobody has opened in years and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, we can put it right, from access panels, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Compton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned and the report has to say so.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Compton
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
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 talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Compton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Compton
There are about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Compton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Food hygiene inspections in Compton are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Compton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Compton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hampshire County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Compton, about 2.8 miles north.
Compton is about 3 miles south of Winchester, in Hampshire.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Faulty fire dampers
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Compton
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Compton out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Compton. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Compton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Compton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
