What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Five Wents
In a building in Five Wents, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers offices and schools, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems, and common reasons people get in touch are ducts that need a clean before handover and supply ducts with years of dust inside.
Work in a small place like Five Wents starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold 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 have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Five Wents
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Poor airflow from the vents
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Sutton Valence Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Common questions in Five Wents
Can a school’s ventilation in Five Wents be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Five Wents, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Five Wents be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Five Wents keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The timing of a visit to Five Wents is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it is not missed.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 photos, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
