About our ventilation duct cleaning in Yelsted
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers general extract ductwork, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers, and common reasons people get in touch are systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and ducts that need a clean before handover.
In a village or hamlet like Yelsted, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Log every filter change
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Yelsted and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Yelsted
Where a building in Yelsted serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. A fault that closes a site in a village like Yelsted affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What affects the quote in Yelsted
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
