Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in St Nicholas at Wade
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you have toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can put it right, from hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and general extract ductwork onwards.
For a building in or near St Nicholas at Wade, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in St Nicholas at Wade
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What a clean won’t put right
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in St Nicholas at Wade
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in St Nicholas at Wade in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of St Nicholas at Wade. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to St Nicholas at Wade?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and St Nicholas at Wade is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, along with photos before and after.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. Cleaning it deals with the source.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to St Nicholas at Wade.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
