For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hook Norton
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 grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed.
For a building near Hook Norton, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. In a smaller place like Hook Norton, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
What we are called out for in Hook Norton
Why does it matter?: 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
School buildings such as Hook Norton Church of England Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a survey comes first

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Hook Norton
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
