About our ventilation duct cleaning in Inkpen Common
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. Typical jobs include ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and toilet extract systems.
In a village or hamlet like Inkpen Common, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Inkpen Common
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a small place like Inkpen Common, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
