How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Draycott
In a building in Draycott, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you have poor airflow from the vents and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, we can help.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and 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 Draycott.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

Common questions in Draycott
Can you get to a site in Draycott?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Draycott is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can a school’s ventilation in Draycott be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Draycott, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, together with the ductwork. You’ll see them in the before and after photos.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.

When to call us in Draycott
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
Wherever a school like Ickford School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. A fault that closes a site in a village like Draycott affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
