Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in Crofton

How it works

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Crofton and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
  2. Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
  3. We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
  4. Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Move anything stored near the system

Ask for a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Crofton, done properly

Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. If you have toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, we can put it right.

Work in a small place like Crofton starts with agreeing access and timings.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Flag any dust coming out of the vents
  • Protect the system from construction dust
  • Watch for water stains around grilles
  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends

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. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

What affects the quote in Crofton

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • What state the system is in
  • The size of the system
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • The number of sites or systems

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the job changes from site to site

Supply ductwork

Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.

Extract ductwork

Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.

Common questions in Crofton

Can you come to Crofton after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Crofton needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Can ventilation in schools around Crofton be cleaned out of term?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 19 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Crofton. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.

What about areas you cannot get to?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Crofton

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Crofton?

Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Poor airflow from the vents
  • Ventilation full of debris from building work
  • Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
  • Odours carried round the building by the ducts

Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Crofton, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Before you book anyone

  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • When the next visit should be, and why
