How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them is not blown back in.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Want a quote for ventilation duct cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Duton Hill before we set off.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Common questions in Duton Hill
Do you work overnight in Duton Hill?

Can you get to a site in Duton Hill?
Yes. Duton Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach, with photos of the inside. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

When to call us in Duton Hill
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Systems missing access panels
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Ventilation work in and around Duton Hill is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Log every filter change
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
