Stoke Mandeville questions
Can ventilation in schools around Stoke Mandeville be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Stoke Mandeville, the Food Standards Agency lists about 11 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you cover smaller places like Stoke Mandeville?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stoke Mandeville included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
AHU cleaning in Stoke Mandeville
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and filter sections, and people most often call us about dirty fans and fan housings and filters that are clogged or overdue.
Around a place like Stoke Mandeville, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
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’re fully insured.

What else we do in Stoke Mandeville
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Stick to the filter change plan
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- In business since 2009

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a site near Stoke Mandeville, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
