Fratton: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Fratton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Fratton can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Fratton within the area you cover?
Yes, Fratton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Fratton
A dusty duct in a building in Fratton is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about ventilation full of debris from building work and supply ducts with years of dust inside.
In a place like Fratton, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep filters changed on time
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Common problems we fix in Fratton
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Fratton can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Workplaces around Fratton station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Part by part
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. For a place like Fratton, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
