For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Catmore
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include systems missing access panels and musty smells from the ventilation, on toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Catmore: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Catmore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Catmore included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Catmore outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Catmore needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition before giving a fixed quote.
What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t be reached?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
When to call us in Catmore
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
Around Catmore, an air handling unit’s drain tray is checked for standing water as a matter of course.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
Why act early in Catmore
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Catmore answers the question. In a place like Catmore, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, 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.

- Fully insured
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Somewhere as small as Catmore, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it is not missed.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Part by part
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
