What affects the quote in Shadoxhurst
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Shadoxhurst, done properly
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are construction dust left in ducts after a refit and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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 are called out for in Shadoxhurst
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
Wherever a school like John Wallis Academy has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Shadoxhurst

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple 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: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Shadoxhurst.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Questions from Shadoxhurst
Can you come to Shadoxhurst after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Shadoxhurst keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Shadoxhurst in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, we work in Shadoxhurst and the places around it. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few pictures of the system.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Leave it or put it right?
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Shadoxhurst answers the question. A planned visit to Shadoxhurst is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
