Questions from Isington
Do you work at weekends in Isington?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Isington keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Isington?
Fire safety enforcement in Isington is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
About our ductwork cleaning in Isington
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have heavy grease at the base of a riser and years of grease along the duct floor, we can help, from access panels, bends and junctions and vertical risers onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Isington, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Isington
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to Isington is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- 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 photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Kitchen extracts in Isington
At about 41 miles from central London, Isington sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Isington are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Isington is Chase Community Hospital, about 5 miles south. If you run a café or takeaway near Bentley (Hampshire) station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Isington is about 4 miles north-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Across the GU34 area, we can take on ductwork cleaning. Isington is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for ductwork cleaning. Guildford is in our area too, about 14 miles from Isington.
Every address in GU34 is covered for ductwork cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Neighbouring places we cover for ductwork cleaning include Binsted (1 mile south), Blacknest (1 mile east), Bentley (1 mile north-east), Bucks Horn Oak (2 miles east) and Frithend (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (11 miles north-west), Farnborough (10 miles north-east), Fleet (7 miles north), Aldershot (7 miles north-east), Alton (4 miles south-west) and Petersfield (12 miles south).
Landmarks near Isington
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Star Inn. Isington’s nearest station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 0.8 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Chase Community Hospital (5 miles south) and Barley Pound (2.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Isington includes Farnham Heath and Holybourne Hill.
What we are called out for in Isington
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Cross or elsewhere in Isington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
