About our ductwork cleaning in Woolmer
If the ducts in Woolmer haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and years of grease along the duct floor, we can put it right, from bends and junctions, access panels and horizontal duct runs onwards.
In a small place like Woolmer, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Kitchen extracts in Woolmer
About 44 miles out from central London, Woolmer is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Fire safety in Woolmer falls to 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Woolmer is Chase Community Hospital, about 1.7 miles north-east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Matthew's Church, or anywhere in Woolmer, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Woolmer is about 2 miles south of Bordon, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Woolmer, we can take on ductwork cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Woolmer among them. Guildford is in our area too, about 17 miles from Woolmer.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Woolmer
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Woolmer?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Woolmer. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Woolmer outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Woolmer keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Woolmer, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Make sure filters are seated properly
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woolmer
Dealing with the ductwork in Woolmer now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Woolmer rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
