About our ventilation duct cleaning in Harcourt Hill

Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. The work covers supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are rooms that feel airless when the system runs and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.

Work in a small place like Harcourt Hill starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When something else is needed

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
  • Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

What we work on in Harcourt Hill

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

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Harcourt Hill?

Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • Stuffy rooms and stale air
  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles
  • Ducts that need a clean before handover

School buildings such as Matthew Arnold School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether VAT is included
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:

  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
  • Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
  • Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them

A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.

Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

How it works

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. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Harcourt Hill and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
