How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

Ventilation duct cleaning in Hersden, done properly
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 offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are ventilation full of debris from building work and systems missing access panels.
In a smaller place like Hersden, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Hersden
Do you work at weekends in Hersden?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Hersden?
Yes, Hersden is covered. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Hersden?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
What we’re called out for in Hersden
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. A building in Hersden can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
Hospitals such as St Martins Hospital (about 3.4 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Hersden are no different.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and we clear up before we go. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hersden, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- File each ventilation report with the building records
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
