How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Faulkbourne
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. Common call-outs are for toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across general extract ductwork, offices and schools and supply ductwork.
Somewhere as small as Faulkbourne, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Faulkbourne
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Faulkbourne
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Need a price for ventilation duct cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Faulkbourne can be planned properly.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Faulkbourne: your questions answered
Is Faulkbourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Faulkbourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Faulkbourne be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Faulkbourne can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Faulkbourne?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
