Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Thorington Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Thorington Street
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you have ducts that need a clean before handover and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, we can put it right, from hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
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 carry full insurance.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Keep filters changed on time
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.

Common questions in Thorington Street
Can you come to Thorington Street after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Thorington Street keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Thorington Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Supply ductwork
Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it isn’t blown back in.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
