When to call us in Farlington
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Blocked general extract ductwork
If you manage a school such as Solent Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Farlington
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Farlington and right across Portsmouth, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork, and people most often call us about supply ducts with years of dust inside and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
In a place like Farlington, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Log every filter change
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Farlington: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Farlington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school ventilation in Farlington during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Farlington. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, always. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you clean ventilation out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are all available, so the building can carry on as usual.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Expect it to take anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Building management settings that run the plant
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Visits to a place like Farlington are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Even a site near Farlington that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
