Ventilation cleaning in Cheapside
Ventilation duct cleaning across Cheapside and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.

- Musty smells from the ventilation

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Cheapside
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. Typical jobs include ductwork with too few access panels to clean and ducts that need a clean before handover, across toilet extract systems, offices and schools and supply ductwork.
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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

Part by part
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Cheapside.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- 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.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Cheapside
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
For schools like Cheapside CofE Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Before booking anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
