Kitchen extracts in Hunny Hill
Look up Hunny Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 61 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hunny Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Kitchens in Hunny Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hunny Hill sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hunnyhill Primary School or anywhere near Hunny Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1.3 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Ductwork cleaning in Hunny Hill
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’re dealing with high readings at a recent grease test and stale grease odours from the duct, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Hunny Hill are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Places near Hunny Hill
What else we do in Hunny Hill
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Hunny Hill questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hunny Hill out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 18 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hunny Hill. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hunny Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Hunny Hill is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Why act early in Hunny Hill
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. Booking now means the visit to Hunny Hill is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hunny Hill
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A site near Hunny Hill usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hunny Hill?
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about within half a mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
