Ductwork cleaning in Ibthorpe
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. Common call-outs are for hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, on vertical risers, access panels and attenuators.
Work in a small place like Ibthorpe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have 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.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Ibthorpe
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
For ductwork cleaning in Ibthorpe, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Ibthorpe: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Ibthorpe?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ibthorpe?
Fire safety enforcement in Ibthorpe 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.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Ibthorpe?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What accreditations do you have?
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 are fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Ibthorpe?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Ibthorpe or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Ibthorpe before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Ductwork cleaning around Ibthorpe
Ibthorpe is covered by 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. In Ibthorpe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Ibthorpe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stargroves is about 4.9 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
