Curridge questions
Do you work at weekends in Curridge?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Curridge needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Curridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Curridge is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Curridge
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. If you are dealing with dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, we can help, from toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Curridge, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

When something else is needed
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Building management settings that run the plant
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Curridge knowing what to expect.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Curridge?
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Systems missing access panels
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Healthcare buildings such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 2.7 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Curridge, yours matters too.
