What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
About our ductwork cleaning in Ovington
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you are dealing with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and a rancid smell from the extract duct, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and attenuators onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why act early in Ovington
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. With notice, the visit to Ovington can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every job surveyed first
- We are fully insured
- Each visit written up, with pictures
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Ovington before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Questions from Ovington
Which fire service covers Ovington?
Ovington is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in villages like Ovington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ovington is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Ovington kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ovington. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Ovington sits within the area of 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 Ovington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St John's Rooms And Chapel is the nearest hospital to Ovington, about 4.9 miles west. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Ovington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Perins School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
