What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Great Holland
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and ventilation full of debris from building work.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Great Holland
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Questions from Great Holland
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Great Holland in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Great Holland. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Great Holland after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Great Holland doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
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.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Great Holland.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Great Holland
It matters for the people inside: 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
If you run an office near Kirby Cross station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.
Before you book anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
Part by part
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events and agree access with the site team.
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
