About our ductwork cleaning in Fawley
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. We are often asked to deal with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and ductwork that has never been cleaned, on bends and junctions, access panels and vertical risers.
In a village or hamlet like Fawley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Fawley
Does being near the coast affect ductwork cleaning in Fawley?
It can. Salt air reaches Fawley, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you cover smaller places like Fawley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Kitchen extracts in Fawley
Sea air reaches Fawley, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fawley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Fawley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fawley Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Fawley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. With notice, the visit to Fawley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Fawley can be planned properly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
When to call us in Fawley
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Historic houses near Fawley, such as Beaulieu Palace House about 4.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
