Ventilation duct cleaning in Eddington
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you are dealing with odours carried round the building by the ducts and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, we can help.
Smaller buildings around Eddington often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
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 carry full insurance.

Questions from Eddington
Do you clean school ventilation in Eddington in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Eddington. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Eddington after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Eddington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Eddington?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
When to call us in Eddington
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. A building in Eddington can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Keep filters changed on time
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. In a smaller place like Eddington, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
