# Duct Cleaning Quotes

> What drives commercial duct and kitchen extract cleaning prices, what TR19 Grease is and is not, and the verification report to insist on. Free contractor quotes.

## Key facts

- Duct cleaning is priced from the length and complexity of the run, the amount of internal access available, the deposit level and the working window, which is why most contractors survey before quoting.
- TR19 and TR19 Grease are guidance published by the Building Engineering Services Association, not legislation: the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, under which the responsible person must make a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.
- The deliverable that matters on a kitchen extract clean is the post-clean verification report: before and after photographs at recorded locations, measured deposit readings, and a written record of anything that could not be reached.
- Ductwork can only be cleaned where it can be accessed, so on a first clean the cost of cutting and fitting access panels is often a larger line than the cleaning itself.

## Data

- What drives a duct cleaning price, 2026. Methodology: We do not publish a price per metre or per canopy for duct cleaning, because the same run of ductwork can differ by a large multiple depending on access, deposit levels and when the work can be done, and most contractors price only after a survey. This table sets out the drivers contractors quote against and the deliverables that make two quotes comparable. Regulatory statements are taken from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005; TR19 and TR19 Grease are industry guidance published by BESA and are not law.
