Duct cleaning in Hannington
Our technicians work in Hannington on cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
What we’re called out for in Hannington
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Hannington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hannington
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you are dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and sections of duct with no access panels, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hannington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hannington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. We will recommend where they should go.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Run the extract fan throughout service
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hannington
Kitchens in Hannington get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hannington, about 51 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 4.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- 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)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Other services in Hannington
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Hannington
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hannington?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hannington. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Hannington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hannington is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
