About our ventilation duct cleaning in Gaston Green
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Typical jobs include dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, across general extract ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. 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.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Log every filter change
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Gaston Green.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Why deal with it now?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. With notice, the visit to Gaston Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Gaston Green?
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:
- Systems missing access panels
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
School buildings such as Spellbrook CofE Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
