What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. Cleaning it deals with the source.
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events and agree access with the site team.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Maxton, done properly
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 we look before we clean. If you have construction dust left in ducts after a refit and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, we can help, from general extract ductwork, offices and schools and supply ductwork onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Maxton
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
Want a quote for ventilation duct cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Maxton can be planned properly.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Maxton questions
Can you get to a site in Maxton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Maxton is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Maxton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Maxton can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach and record what we find. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Maxton?
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
School buildings such as St Martin's School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
