Portsmouth · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Wymering, Portsmouth
Ductwork cleaning in Wymering from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Don’t 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 photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Wymering
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. We’re often asked to deal with stale grease odours from the duct and sections of duct with no access panels, across multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
Kitchens around a place like Wymering are often in older buildings or single-storey 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Wymering
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Wymering
Wymering is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 17 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs in Wymering and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Wymering are the job of Portsmouth council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Commuter trade near Cosham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Wymering, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Medina Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
Why deal with it now?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Wymering.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.

- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wymering
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
