Woking questions
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Woking?
Yes, we work in Woking and the places around it. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you work at weekends in Woking?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Woking keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Woking
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. Common call-outs are for duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, on supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools.
Larger buildings in Woking can have several air handling units serving different floors. Filters, coils, drain trays and fans all need cleaning, and a drain tray holding water is something we look for on every unit.
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.
What affects the quote in Woking
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- File each ventilation report with the building records
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. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
Common problems we fix in Woking
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Wherever a school like Goldsworth Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Whoever holds the keys and signs off contractors at your site in Woking is the person we need to speak to before the day.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
