Ductwork cleaning in Peel Common
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
Somewhere as small as Peel Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Peel Common.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extracts in Peel Common
At about 2 miles from the coast, Peel Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 37 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 takeaways across Peel Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. The fire and rescue service for Peel Common is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Peel Common Junior School or anywhere near Peel Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Peel Common Mission Church, or anywhere in Peel Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Peel Common, about 2.8 miles south-east.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Duct sections that need replacing

- An extract fan that has stopped working

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. In a place like Peel Common, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Peel Common: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Peel Common?
That is Gosport council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Peel Common. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can a school canteen extract in Peel Common be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Peel Common, the Food Standards Agency lists about 19 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
