How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Harpsden
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you have construction dust left in ducts after a refit and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can put it right, from supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Harpsden, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.

What else we do in Harpsden
What affects the quote in Harpsden
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 8 schools, colleges and universities and about 7 care, childcare and hospital premises serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Harpsden.

Do you survey before quoting?

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
