About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hay Street
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, 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 ventilation full of debris from building work and damp or stale smells from grilles, across supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
Work in a small place like Hay Street starts with agreeing access and timings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Staff cleaning versus 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 send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes

What else we do in Hay Street
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hay Street affects everyone who depends on it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hay Street?
It matters for the people inside: 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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
Wherever a school like Jenyns First School and Nursery has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The timing of a visit to Hay Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
