What we are called out for in Hound
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. A building in Hound can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Coldeast, about 2.4 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Hound, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hound
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you have ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and ducts that need a clean before handover, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Toilet extract systems
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Somewhere as small as Hound, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities and about 16 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Hound and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half).

- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
