What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
What we’re called out for in Letchworth Garden City
In a building in Letchworth Garden City, 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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Systems missing access panels
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
Healthcare buildings such as Fairfield Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Letchworth Garden City, yours matters too.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
