Ductwork Cleaning in North Stoneham
Ductwork cleaning for commercial sites in North Stoneham and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Ductwork cleaning in North Stoneham, done properly
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, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and people most often call us about grease pooling at the foot of the riser and duct runs that can’t be reached.
Work in a small place like North Stoneham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in North Stoneham
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. In a place like North Stoneham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Grease, kitchens and North Stoneham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central North Stoneham. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. North Stoneham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in North Stoneham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Nicolas' Church or elsewhere in North Stoneham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Nightingale Primary School or anywhere near North Stoneham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in North Stoneham
Can school kitchens in North Stoneham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of North Stoneham. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in North Stoneham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in North Stoneham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like North Stoneham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in North Stoneham?
Wherever the kitchen is, in North Stoneham 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.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
A hospital like Princess Anne Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
