How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Hammer

Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. We are often asked to deal with extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, across toilet extract systems, offices and schools and supply ductwork.

Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

Part by part

Supply ductwork

We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.

Offices and retail

Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers are not disturbed.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hammer

Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
  • Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
  • Odours carried round the building by the ducts
  • Ventilation full of debris from building work

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hammer, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital (about 2 miles east).

Questions to ask before you book

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Hammer

Can ventilation in schools around Hammer be cleaned out of term?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hammer, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Will you come out to Hammer?

Yes, Hammer is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, along with pictures before and after.

What accreditations do you have?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?

It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

When something else is needed

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
  • Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Problems with how the system is controlled

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Offices and schools
  • Supply ductwork
  • General extract ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes

Multi-site and managed buildings

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

How the visit works

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hammer can be planned properly.

  1. First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. We take after photos and send the certificate and report.

Before we arrive

  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Getting a quote

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What affects the quote in Hammer

You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The size of the system
  • The times the site is available
  • How many systems or sites are involved

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.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
