About our ventilation duct cleaning in Emmer Green
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Emmer Green and right across Reading, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include ventilation full of debris from building work and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, on hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems.
Smaller buildings around Emmer Green often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
What we’re called out for in Emmer Green
It matters for the people inside: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Emmer Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 2.2 miles south).
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We plan the journey to Emmer Green and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Common questions in Emmer Green
Can ventilation in schools around Emmer Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Emmer Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Emmer Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Emmer Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so dust isn’t left at the outlets.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
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.
