Related advice
Ventilation duct cleaning in Wicken Bonhunt, done properly
Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. Common call-outs are for poor airflow from the vents and musty smells from the ventilation, on hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.
Somewhere as small as Wicken Bonhunt, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

The clean takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. We’ll know more after the survey, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to arrange it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.

When to call us in Wicken Bonhunt
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
School buildings such as Joyce Frankland Academy are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
