Ventilation duct cleaning in Essendon
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. We’re often asked to deal with odours carried round the building by the ducts and stuffy rooms and stale air, on toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and supply 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. For a village or hamlet like Essendon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep the space open.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Essendon?

Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach and record what we find. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Essendon
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
