Ventilation duct cleaning in Borehamwood
In a building in Borehamwood, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. Common call-outs are for toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
Buildings in towns like Borehamwood often have ventilation added in stages, with units on the roof or in a plant room. An inspection shows which parts need cleaning.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
Why act early in Borehamwood
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Log every filter change
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Borehamwood
Do you work at weekends in Borehamwood?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Borehamwood can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Borehamwood?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Borehamwood included. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from pictures, drawings or a site visit, and then quote a fixed price.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Sites in a town like Borehamwood rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
