How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in St Mary's
Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. If you have ventilation full of debris from building work and musty smells from the ventilation, we can help.
Smaller buildings around St Mary's often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
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’re fully insured.

- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in St Mary's
Do you work in villages like St Mary's?
Yes, St Mary's is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to St Mary's after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in St Mary's doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in St Mary's?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why act early in St Mary's
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that don’t need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in St Mary's?
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near St Mary's, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Royal South Hants Hospital (about 0.5 miles north).

Managing agents and facilities teams in St Mary's
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
