What ductwork cleaning looks like in Ibsley
It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ibsley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ibsley. 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ibsley, about 5.6 miles south-west.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Ibsley
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with fat dripping from the ductwork and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right, from bends and junctions, access panels and horizontal duct runs onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Ibsley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Ibsley: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Ibsley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Ibsley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Ibsley?
Yes, Ibsley is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Ibsley can be planned properly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Ibsley
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Ibsley?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
What we are most often called out for:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Martins or elsewhere in Ibsley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
Part by part
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 reach it from the plenum side where possible.
