Managing agents and facilities teams in Harpsden Bottom
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Harpsden Bottom, done properly
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. If you have rooms that feel airless when the system runs and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Harpsden Bottom, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, 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. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning

Harpsden Bottom questions
Do you cover smaller places like Harpsden Bottom?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Harpsden Bottom be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Harpsden Bottom, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
We list any unreached sections on the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Hospitals and care homes
Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
