About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hornestreet
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. If you are dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, we can help, from general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems onwards.
For a building in or near Hornestreet, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hornestreet.
- 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.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What else we do in Hornestreet
Why it’s worth doing now in Hornestreet
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Somewhere as small as Hornestreet, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Leaking or broken duct sections

Hornestreet questions
Do you work in villages like Hornestreet?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hornestreet included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Hornestreet?
Yes, Hornestreet is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
