Managing agents and facilities teams in St Clement's
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in St Clement's
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in St Clement's and right across Oxfordshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. We are often asked to deal with stuffy rooms and stale air and ducts that need a clean before handover, across supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
In a smaller place like St Clement's, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from St Clement's
Do you clean school ventilation in St Clement's in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 79 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of St Clement's, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is St Clement's within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, St Clement's included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
The clean takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We’ll know more after the survey, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to arrange it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. 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 if there are not enough access panels?
We list any unreached sections on the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.

Part by part
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A site near St Clement's normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in St Clement's
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
School buildings such as East Oxford Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Before booking anyone
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether VAT is included
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Log every filter change
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Protect the system from construction dust
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
