How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Inner Avenue
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers offices and schools, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
Visits to a place like Inner Avenue are fitted around opening hours. 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, and we’re fully insured.

- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Inner Avenue
Can you clean school ventilation in Inner Avenue during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 34 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Inner Avenue, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Inner Avenue?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Inner Avenue, not ours.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Leave it or put it right?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Inner Avenue at a time that suits you.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
