What affects the quote in Fordham Heath
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fordham Heath
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning.
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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Is Fordham Heath within the area you cover?

Can you clean ventilation out of hours?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fordham Heath.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

What else we do in Fordham Heath
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep filters changed on time
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it isn’t missed.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
What we are called out for in Fordham Heath
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
If you manage a school such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
