What we are called out for in Arborfield
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.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Systems missing access panels
School buildings such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

What affects the quote in Arborfield
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
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 site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. For a village or hamlet like Arborfield, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Arborfield
Can ventilation in schools around Arborfield be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Arborfield. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Arborfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Arborfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Arborfield
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Arborfield and across Reading. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
