What affects the quote in Broadfields Estate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. 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, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Broadfields Estate
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Broadfields Estate and right across Greater London, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are supply ducts with years of dust inside and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Broadfields Estate.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a job in Broadfields Estate, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you accredited?

Common problems we fix in Broadfields Estate
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
School buildings such as Rosh Pinah Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
When it’s something else
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
What happens if it’s left?
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. In Broadfields Estate, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
