  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Alkerton

Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Typical jobs include toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, on general extract ductwork, offices and schools and toilet extract systems.

Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why act early in Alkerton

Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What you get with us

  • Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

FAQs for Alkerton

Is Alkerton within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Do you cover Alkerton for ventilation duct cleaning?

Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Alkerton included. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and let us know what needs doing.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

What if there are not enough access panels?

Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.

What information do you need?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How do you protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

When it’s something else

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout

If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What the work covers

  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Offices and schools
  • Supply ductwork
  • General extract ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Toilet extract systems

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • What state the system is in
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • A single visit or a regular plan

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What we’re called out for in Alkerton

Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
  • Supply ducts with years of dust inside
  • Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
  • Stuffy rooms and stale air

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Horton General Hospital (about 5.2 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Before booking anyone

  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
