Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Swanwick
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Swanwick, done properly
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. We are often asked to deal with damp or stale smells from grilles and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.
Work in a small place like Lower Swanwick starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Questions from Lower Swanwick
Do you work in villages like Lower Swanwick?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lower Swanwick is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Lower Swanwick outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Lower Swanwick keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
When to call us in Lower Swanwick
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Hospitals such as Coldeast (about 1.2 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Lower Swanwick are no different.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lower Swanwick run smoothly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Why act early in Lower Swanwick
If a building in Lower Swanwick has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Swanwick: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 17 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service in and around Lower Swanwick, up to about a mile and a half out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Lower Swanwick’s nearest hospital, Coldeast, is about 1.2 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
If you manage shops or offices close to Bursledon station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning. School buildings such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
