About our ductwork cleaning in Steep Marsh
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. We’re often asked to deal with a rancid smell from the extract duct and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, on attenuators, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
In a village or hamlet like Steep Marsh, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Steep Marsh?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Steep Marsh, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Steep Marsh
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Steep Marsh, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Steep Marsh does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Planning a trip to Steep Marsh ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common questions in Steep Marsh
Who is the fire and rescue service for Steep Marsh?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Steep Marsh out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Steep Marsh, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Ductwork cleaning around Steep Marsh
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Steep Marsh, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Steep Marsh. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Steep Marsh 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.
A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 1.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
