- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Cove, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Cove
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and supply ducts with years of dust inside.
For a building near Cove, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Part by part
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. Cleaning it deals with the source.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Cove
There are about 18 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Cove and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Cove, about 33 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Cove’s nearest hospital, Fleet Community Hospital, is about 2.4 miles west. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
If you manage a school such as Parsonage Farm Nursery and Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Cove?
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Fleet Community Hospital (about 2.4 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before booking

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Cove
Do you work overnight in Cove?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can ventilation in schools around Cove be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Cove. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Watch for water stains around grilles
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
