- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.

Related advice
How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Questions from Howlett End
Can you clean school ventilation in Howlett End during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Howlett End. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Howlett End after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Howlett End doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you accredited?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Howlett End
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Watch for water stains around grilles
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after pictures. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
