Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Founthill
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. If you are dealing with damp or stale smells from grilles and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, we can put it right, from offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers onwards.
Somewhere as small as Founthill, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Founthill: your questions answered
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Founthill?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Founthill included. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and let us know what needs doing.
Can you get to a site in Founthill?
Yes, Founthill is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. We fit the work around when the building is in use. Holidays suit schools, and evenings or weekends suit offices.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
The clean takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We’ll know more after the survey, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to get started.
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 legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Why act early in Founthill
Where a building in Founthill serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. The timing of a visit to Founthill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
