Horsley Cross questions
Is Horsley Cross in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Horsley Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
Do you cover smaller places like Horsley Cross?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Horsley Cross is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Expect it to take anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, always. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Horsley Cross
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. Typical jobs include grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and odours carried round the building by the ducts, across offices and schools, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
What we are called out for in Horsley Cross
In a building in Horsley Cross, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
Every job around Horsley Cross ends with a record of what was cleaned and what was found.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
