Ventilation duct cleaning in Castle Hedingham, done properly
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with supply ducts with years of dust inside and blocked general extract ductwork, on grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we’re called out for in Castle Hedingham
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Castle Hedingham, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Halstead Hospital (about 3.4 miles south-east).

Questions from Castle Hedingham
Can the work in Castle Hedingham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Castle Hedingham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can ventilation in schools around Castle Hedingham be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Castle Hedingham. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Castle Hedingham?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Typically, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Bigger sites are split into stages, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
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.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
