Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadfield
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. The work covers grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and stuffy rooms and stale air.
Around a place like Broadfield, 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. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Broadfield
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
Hospitals such as Crawley Hospital (about 1.5 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Broadfield are no different.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Broadfield is Crawley Hospital, about 1.5 miles north.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Visits to a place like Broadfield are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.

Broadfield questions
Do you work in villages like Broadfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school ventilation in Broadfield during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Broadfield. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
