About our ventilation duct cleaning in Horley
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you’re dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, we can put it right, from general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes onwards.
In a town like Horley, ventilation cleaning normally means offices, schools, surgeries, care homes and leisure buildings. Each has supply and extract ductwork that collects dust and debris.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we are called out for in Horley
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
School buildings such as Horley Infant School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Horley
Can a school’s ventilation in Horley be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Horley. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is Horley in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Horley is part of that. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with pictures of the inside. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Log every filter change
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
