What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Babbs Green
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and systems missing access panels.
Work in a small place like Babbs Green starts with agreeing access and timings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from Babbs Green
Is Babbs Green in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Babbs Green included. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Do you work at weekends in Babbs Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Babbs Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What affects the quote in Babbs Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
When to call us in Babbs Green
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Systems missing access panels
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
School buildings such as Wareside Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Babbs Green.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. In a small place like Babbs Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
