About our ventilation duct cleaning in Cripp's Corner
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you’re dealing with construction dust left in ducts after a refit and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, we can put it right.
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.
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 are fully insured.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Want a quote for ventilation duct cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In a small place like Cripp's Corner, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Log every filter change
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.

Questions from Cripp's Corner
Can the work in Cripp's Corner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Cripp's Corner does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Cripp's Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cripp's Corner
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
