What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stone Cross
A dusty duct in a building in Stone Cross is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. Typical jobs include damp or stale smells from grilles and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, on hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and general extract ductwork.
For a building in or near Stone Cross, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stone Cross
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
What we’re called out for in Stone Cross
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
If you manage a school such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site

Common questions in Stone Cross
Will you come out to Stone Cross?
Yes, Stone Cross is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Stone Cross be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stone Cross needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
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.
What we do, step by step
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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stone Cross and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
