How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Stuckton knowing what to expect.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ductwork cleaning in Stuckton
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you are dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Stuckton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Stuckton
Will you come out to Stuckton?
Yes, Stuckton is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Stuckton during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Stuckton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
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 survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we install duct access panels. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Stuckton
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- High readings at a recent grease test
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 3.6 miles north), access may need planning.

Grease, kitchens and Stuckton
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stuckton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Stuckton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Stuckton 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.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in Stuckton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Hyde Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in Stuckton
Part by part
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
