How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Walmer
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 are dealing with ducts that need a clean before handover and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems onwards.
Visits to a place like Walmer are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Walmer
Can ventilation in schools around Walmer be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Walmer. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Walmer?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Walmer included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, along with photos before and after.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What we’re called out for in Walmer
It matters for the people inside: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
If you manage a school such as The Downs Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Tell us when your site near Walmer is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
