Ventilation duct cleaning in Heybridge Basin
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. We’re often asked to deal with rooms that feel airless when the system runs and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork.
In a village or hamlet like Heybridge Basin, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Heybridge Basin
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
For buildings in and around Heybridge Basin, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

Why deal with it now?

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Heybridge Basin and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
