What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
About our ductwork cleaning in Red Rice
No two duct runs are the same, in Red Rice or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers attenuators, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are years of grease along the duct floor and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Work in a small place like Red Rice starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common questions in Red Rice
Can school kitchens in Red Rice be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Red Rice. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Red Rice?
Yes. Red Rice is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Red Rice, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Never cook with a filter missing
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Ductwork cleaning around Red Rice
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in and around Red Rice, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Red Rice is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Red Rice. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Red Rice, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Redrice School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Red Rice is about 3 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. We provide ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Red Rice and the rest of Hampshire. Red Rice is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. Southampton is in our area too, around 19 miles away.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Red Rice
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 2.8 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
