How ventilation duct cleaning works in Hampshire

Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Hampshire and right across Hampshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are ducts that need a clean before handover and supply ducts with years of dust inside.

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
  2. Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
  3. Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
  4. Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
  5. A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.

Pricing in Hampshire

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Local landmarks in Basingstoke

We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, Cranbourne and Eastrop Park, among other places. Also close by are The Rising Sun pub (0.5 miles north-east), St Michael's Church (0.5 miles east) and The Costello School (1 mile east). For rail, the closest station is Basingstoke station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Basing House (2.2 miles east) and The Malls (0.6 miles east). Open spaces near Basingstoke include Farleigh Hill and Daneshill Park Woods.

Ventilation across Hampshire

From Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to its smaller places, Hampshire has buildings that rely on mechanical ventilation. The work starts with an inspection, and cleaning follows where it’s needed.

Hampshire is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote. Along the coast in Hampshire, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.

Basingstoke: Hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 1.1 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Basingstoke are no different. School buildings such as King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What the work involves, part by part

Grilles and diffusers

Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.

Extract ductwork

Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix

Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:

  • Design problems with the ductwork layout
  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampshire

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 each one has its own record.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What we’re called out for in Hampshire

Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.

Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
  • Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles

Why deal with it now?

If a building in Hampshire has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on.

Questions from Hampshire

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

How long does ventilation cleaning take?

Typically, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Bigger sites are split into stages, to fit around the building.
