Ventilation duct cleaning in Hillborough
Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. We are often asked to deal with dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and musty smells from the ventilation, on hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork.
Around a place like Hillborough, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Hillborough.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for 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. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hillborough
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. Even a site near Hillborough that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.

Common questions in Hillborough
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Hillborough?
Yes, Hillborough is within the area we cover across London and the South East. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us what needs doing.
Can you work in Hillborough outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hillborough needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Hospitals and care homes
Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
