Ventilation duct cleaning in Hersham
In a building in Hersham, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. We’re often asked to deal with construction dust left in ducts after a refit and musty smells from the ventilation, across hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers.
For a building near Hersham, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We plan the journey to Hersham and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

Hersham questions
Is Hersham within the area you cover?
Yes, Hersham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Hersham be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hersham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
The clean takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We’ll know more after the survey, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to get started.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Common problems we fix in Hersham
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Systems missing access panels
For schools like Bell Farm Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
