What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Ventilation duct cleaning in The Stocks
In a building in The Stocks, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are construction dust left in ducts after a refit and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to The Stocks run smoothly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in The Stocks
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. A fault that closes a site in a village like The Stocks affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in The Stocks?
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Wittersham Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

The Stocks questions
Can you work in The Stocks outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in The Stocks does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in The Stocks?
Yes, The Stocks is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What is 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.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
