About our ductwork cleaning in Newton Valence
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can help, from bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and access panels onwards.
In a small place like Newton Valence, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Newton Valence
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Sections of duct with no access panels
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 3.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Newton Valence
In Newton Valence, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Newton Valence 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Newton Valence, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. In a small place like Newton Valence, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Part by part
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.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

What else we do in Newton Valence
Newton Valence questions
Can you get to a site in Newton Valence?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newton Valence is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Newton Valence be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Newton Valence can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What about areas you can’t get to?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?

What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
