Common problems we fix in Harmer Green
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Blocked general extract ductwork
School buildings such as Oaklands Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
Before booking anyone
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep filters changed on time
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What we do, step by step
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. The work on site 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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Harmer Green.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
