How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Ranmore Common
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. The work covers offices and schools, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are stuffy rooms and stale air and ductwork with too few access panels to clean.
Work in a small place like Ranmore Common starts with agreeing access and timings.
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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ranmore Common and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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.

How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team to keep disruption down.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Log every filter change
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
When to call us in Ranmore Common
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
For schools like Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Every site is different, 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 we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Ranmore Common: your questions answered
Will you come out to Ranmore Common?
Yes, Ranmore Common is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Ranmore Common in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ranmore Common is part of that. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
It takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
What’s TR19?
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.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
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 offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ranmore Common.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
