Ventilation duct cleaning in Wokingham, done properly
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you have ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork onwards.
In a place the size of Wokingham, plenty of buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, from offices and schools to hotels. Dust in a supply duct ends up in the air people breathe, so TR19® Air cleaning follows an inspection.
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 carry full insurance.

Why act early in Wokingham
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. For a site in Wokingham with several systems, a planned schedule stops everything falling due at once.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first to see where cleaning is needed.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Access to the roof, the plant room and a parking space are worth sorting out before a visit in Wokingham.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
