About our ventilation duct cleaning in Chilswell
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Chilswell and right across Oxfordshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. The work covers hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and damp or stale smells from grilles.
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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Keep filters changed on time
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Questions from Chilswell
Can ventilation in schools around Chilswell be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Chilswell. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Chilswell?
Yes, Chilswell is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

When to call us in Chilswell
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
For schools like Matthew Arnold School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.
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.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Chilswell.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
