For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Gibraltar
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we are called out for in Gibraltar
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
What we are most often called out for:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like St John's Hospital (about 1.4 miles north-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Gibraltar
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Gibraltar. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. St John's Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east of Gibraltar. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Gibraltar is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Ventilation work in and around Gibraltar is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Log every filter change
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

FAQs for Gibraltar
Can you clean school ventilation in Gibraltar during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Gibraltar. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is Gibraltar within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Gibraltar is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Gibraltar and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Somewhere as small as Gibraltar, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
