Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Basingstoke
A dusty duct in a building in Basingstoke is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. Common call-outs are for odours carried round the building by the ducts and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on toilet extract systems, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
In a place the size of Basingstoke, plenty of buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, from offices and schools to hotels. Whatever collects in a supply duct is carried into the rooms it serves, so TR19® Air cleaning follows an inspection.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Where a site in Basingstoke has more than one system, we can take them one at a time to keep the rest running.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Basingstoke: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Basingstoke be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Basingstoke, the Food Standards Agency lists about 32 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Basingstoke be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Basingstoke can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, and then quote a fixed price.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. If an insurer or inspector asks when the work was last done, an up-to-date certificate answers the question.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
