About our ventilation duct cleaning in East Lockinge
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in East Lockinge and right across Oxfordshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include systems missing access panels and poor airflow from the vents, on grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and general extract ductwork.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Questions from East Lockinge
Do you work overnight in East Lockinge?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in East Lockinge can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like East Lockinge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- File each ventilation report with the building records
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Building management settings that run the plant
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in East Lockinge?
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Around East Lockinge, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
What to look for in a quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the price is fixed
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to East Lockinge.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
