How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. Access is agreed with the building manager.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Swingfield Minnis
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you’re dealing with odours carried round the building by the ducts and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can put it right, from supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Swingfield Minnis
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Systems missing access panels
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Wherever a school like Selsted Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
Why it’s worth doing now in Swingfield Minnis
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

Swingfield Minnis questions
Do you work in villages like Swingfield Minnis?
Yes, Swingfield Minnis is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Swingfield Minnis after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Swingfield Minnis doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Swingfield Minnis
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Protect the system from construction dust
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

Visits to a village like Swingfield Minnis are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
