Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Salfords
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and stuffy rooms and stale air, on supply ductwork, offices and schools and toilet extract systems.
Work in a small place like Salfords 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 carry full insurance.

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Salfords run smoothly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Salfords
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.
FAQs for Salfords
Can you work in Salfords outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Salfords keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can ventilation in schools around Salfords be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Salfords. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep filters changed on time
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
What happens if it’s left?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. In a small place like Salfords, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
