Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Portchester
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. Typical jobs include systems missing access panels and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, across hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork.
Around a place like Portchester, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Portchester questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Portchester in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Portchester. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Portchester?
Yes, Portchester is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What we are called out for in Portchester
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Castle Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Your opening hours decide when we come to Portchester, not ours.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Portchester
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
