- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Ventilation duct cleaning in Chickney
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. If you have ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and ducts that need a clean before handover, we can help, from toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Chickney.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area

Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:

FAQs for Chickney
Can you come to Chickney after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Chickney can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Chickney?
Yes, Chickney is covered. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details of the site.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Stick to the filter change schedule
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
