Ventilation duct cleaning in Horns Green, done properly
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are damp or stale smells from grilles and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers.
In a village or hamlet like Horns Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
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.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Horns Green?
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
If you manage a school such as Charles Darwin School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Log every filter change
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Horns Green can be planned properly.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
