What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
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 you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Coulsdon
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. We are often asked to deal with ventilation full of debris from building work and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Coulsdon, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We will know more after the survey, and you can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos to arrange it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Coulsdon
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
- Toilet extract systems
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Coulsdon needs from us.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
