Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tidworth
Ductwork in Tidworth is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. If you have high readings at a recent grease test and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can help.
Around a smaller place like Tidworth, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tidworth
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Tidworth kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Tidworth get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Tidworth 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Wellington Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Tidworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a place like Tidworth, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
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.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Tidworth: your questions answered
Is Tidworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Tidworth is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Tidworth after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Tidworth keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
