Ventilation duct cleaning in Great Bookham, Surrey
One call covers ventilation duct cleaning in Great Bookham, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Great Bookham and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Great Bookham, done properly
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. If you have dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and poor airflow from the vents, we can help, from general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools onwards.
In a smaller place like Great Bookham, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, with nobody in the classrooms.
When to call us in Great Bookham
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Workplaces around Bookham station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.

Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Leave it or put it right?
Where a building in Great Bookham serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
