How we price ventilation duct cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The scale of the work
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The condition of the system

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Helping us quote

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The postcode and the type of business

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Botany Bay

We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you’re dealing with construction dust left in ducts after a refit and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, we can help.

Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. In a building in Botany Bay, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us

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 is our job.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How the visit works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Botany Bay.

  1. First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
  2. We open the ductwork through its access panels.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Botany Bay

Can you come to Botany Bay after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Can a school’s ventilation in Botany Bay be done out of term time?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Botany Bay, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.

How much notice should we give?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Will you clean the vents in the rooms?

Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You’ll see them in the before and after pictures.

What do you do to protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

How much time does a ventilation clean need?

Work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. We will know more after the survey, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to get started.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 1.2 miles south-east of Botany Bay is Chase Farm Hospital, the nearest hospital.

London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.

Hospitals such as Chase Farm Hospital (about 1.2 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Botany Bay are no different. School buildings such as St. John's Senior School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

When something else is needed

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
  • Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

What the work covers

  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Supply ductwork
  • General extract ductwork
  • Offices and schools
  • Toilet extract systems

Keeping the system healthy

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:

  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
  • Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
  • Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
  • Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage

If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.

Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Different parts, different methods

Supply ductwork

We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.

Schools and colleges

We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.

Leave it or put it right?

Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.

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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
