About our ventilation duct cleaning in Reigate
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. The work covers offices and schools, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and the jobs we see most are ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and blocked general extract ductwork.
In Reigate, ventilation in schools and offices is cleaned when the building is quiet: evenings, weekends or school holidays.
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.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Reigate
There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities and about 19 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Reigate. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 2 miles south-east of Reigate is East Surrey Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. Reigate, about 19 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like East Surrey Hospital (about 2 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Reigate Priory Community Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Log every filter change
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Work in Reigate is normally booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- 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.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Leave it or put it right?
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. Booking now keeps it a routine visit to Reigate rather than an urgent one.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Questions from Reigate
Can you clean school ventilation in Reigate during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Reigate, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Reigate?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Reigate keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with photos of the inside. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Reigate?
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
If you run an office near Reigate station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
