About our ductwork cleaning in Wroxall
Each extract duct we take on in Wroxall goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and people most often call us about a rancid smell from the extract duct and a duct nobody has opened in years.
Work in a small place like Wroxall starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Wroxall: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Wroxall out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wroxall. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Wroxall?
It can. Salt air reaches Wroxall, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you cover Wroxall?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Wroxall included.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a small place like Wroxall, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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 work begins.
Related advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Wroxall?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Rylstone Manor is about 2.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Booking the duct clean in Wroxall now keeps it a planned job. The work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. In a small place like Wroxall, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Wroxall kitchens: local notes
Wroxall is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food hygiene inspections in Wroxall are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Wroxall is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John's Church or elsewhere in Wroxall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 2.3 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
