- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Heybridge, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Heybridge, done properly
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Heybridge and right across Essex, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. If you have ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, we can help, from general extract ductwork, offices and schools and toilet extract systems onwards.
In a place like Heybridge, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Toilet extract systems

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
When to call us in Heybridge
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
For buildings in and around Heybridge, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
