About ventilation duct cleaning in Portsmouth
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, on offices and schools, toilet extract systems and grilles and diffusers.
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

Ventilation across Portsmouth
From Southsea, Milton and Landport to its smaller places, Portsmouth has buildings that rely on mechanical ventilation. The work starts with an inspection, and cleaning follows where it’s needed.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across Portsmouth do not have to lose a day. Coastal kitchens in Portsmouth often have their busiest months in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.
Portsmouth: For workplaces around Fratton station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal Portsmouth Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Why it fails
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Systems missing access panels
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
