About our ductwork cleaning in Corhampton
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you have a duct clean needed for an insurer and years of grease along the duct floor, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Corhampton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.

Questions from Corhampton
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Corhampton?
Fire safety enforcement in Corhampton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Corhampton?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Corhampton. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover Corhampton?
Yes. We work in Corhampton and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Ductwork cleaning in Corhampton: the local picture
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Corhampton. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Corhampton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Corhampton (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.4 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Corhampton Church or anywhere around Corhampton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Corhampton is about 7 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What we’re called out for in Corhampton
Wherever the kitchen is, in Corhampton or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
School kitchens, at schools like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep your cleaning records together
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.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For ductwork cleaning in Corhampton, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a small place like Corhampton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
