Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mill Green
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. If you have extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Mill Green, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Log every filter change
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
What affects the quote in Mill Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mill Green run smoothly.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What we are called out for in Mill Green
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Wherever a school like Cheam School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and we remove it through access panels.
Common questions in Mill Green
Will you come out to Mill Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mill Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Mill Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Mill Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition before giving a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. We can install panels to open those sections up.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
