Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
About our ductwork cleaning in Wallington
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you’re dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, we can help.
In a smaller place like Wallington, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the quote in Wallington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Ductwork cleaning in Wallington: the local picture
Wallington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 21 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses in and around Wallington, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Wallington is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Wykeham House School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 2.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Wallington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What happens if it’s left?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Wallington doesn’t stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Wallington at a time that suits you.

FAQs for Wallington
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Wallington out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 20 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wallington. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Wallington within the area you cover?
Yes, Wallington is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
