How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Peaks Hill
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. Common call-outs are for dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, across general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Peaks Hill, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
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 are fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Peaks Hill.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so the room side matches the duct side.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Common problems we fix in Peaks Hill
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
For schools like Coloma Convent Girls' School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
