About our ventilation duct cleaning in Capel
Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and the jobs we see most are construction dust left in ducts after a refit and blocked general extract ductwork.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Leave it or put it right?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Capel is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How it works
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 day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Capel.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
Common problems we fix in Capel
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
Wherever a school like Capel Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.

What else we do in Capel
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Questions from Capel
Can you work in Capel outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Capel needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Capel?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Capel included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Expect it to take a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
