What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Great Totham
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. If you have extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and musty smells from the ventilation, we can help, from toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes onwards.
Smaller buildings around Great Totham often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Great Totham than wait for a failure.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What we are called out for in Great Totham
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Great Totham Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed

What we do, step by step

- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
