Ventilation duct cleaning in Ashbank
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. The work covers toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are stuffy rooms and stale air and damp or stale smells from grilles.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

About 3.6 miles north-west of Ashbank is KIMS hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Ashbank
Do you work at weekends in Ashbank?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ashbank keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Ashbank within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashbank included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
The clean takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. We’ll know more after the survey, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to get started.
What should I send you?
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 ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ashbank run smoothly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.
