About our ventilation duct cleaning in Swan Bottom
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Common call-outs are for rooms that feel airless when the system runs and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, across grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools.
In a village or hamlet like Swan Bottom, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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.

What else we do in Swan Bottom
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Swan Bottom.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning

- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

FAQs for Swan Bottom
Can the work in Swan Bottom be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Swan Bottom needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Swan Bottom?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Part by part
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Swan Bottom
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
If you manage a school such as Lee Common Church of England School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Why deal with it now?
An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
