Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What else we do in Tye Green
What we’re called out for in Tye Green
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
For schools like Cressing Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Tye Green buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises in and around Tye Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 2.3 miles north-west of Tye Green is William Julien Courtauld Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. We cover Tye Green, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like William Julien Courtauld Hospital (about 2.3 miles north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage shops or offices close to Cressing station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
Tye Green is about 2 miles south-east of Braintree, in Essex.

Why act early in Tye Green
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tye Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Different parts, different methods
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Tye Green questions
Can you come to Tye Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Tye Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Tye Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tye Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tye Green
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
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.
