Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Horney Common
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. Common call-outs are for stuffy rooms and stale air and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on offices and schools, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Somewhere as small as Horney Common, ducted ventilation is usually 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, and we’re 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.

When to call us in Horney Common
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Healthcare buildings such as Uckfield Community Hospital, about 3.5 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Horney Common, yours matters too.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
Horney Common: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Horney Common?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Horney Common can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Horney Common?
Yes. Horney Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.

Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
