Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Grubb Street
A dusty duct in a building in Grubb Street is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. If you have dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can help, from toilet extract systems, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Grubb Street, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. In a small place like Grubb Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the quote in Grubb Street
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after photos. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
Why deal with it now?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. A planned visit to Grubb Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
