When to call us in Caring
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Systems missing access panels
For schools like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Caring
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. If you’re dealing with odours carried round the building by the ducts and stuffy rooms and stale air, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
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 carry full insurance.

Caring: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Caring?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Caring does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Caring?
Yes. Caring is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes

Managing agents and facilities teams in Caring
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.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- File each ventilation report with the building records
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Caring before we set off.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Leave it or put it right?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. With notice, the visit to Caring can be fitted around your bookings and events.
