Part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Pitshanger
We cover Pitshanger and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are construction dust left in ducts after a refit and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Pitshanger, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
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.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Pitshanger
Do you clean school ventilation in Pitshanger in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 52 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Pitshanger. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does London parking affect a job in Pitshanger?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
Why act early in Pitshanger
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. In Pitshanger, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- File each ventilation report with the building records
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Advice
What affects the quote in Pitshanger
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
