Ventilation duct cleaning in Little Tey

Ventilation duct cleaning in Little Tey, done properly

Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about odours carried round the building by the ducts and ducts that need a clean before handover.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Tey

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.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

The process

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Little Tey before we set off.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Clear the space around the work

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Leave it or put it right?

If a building in Little Tey has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Planning a trip to Little Tey ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • What state the system is in
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • How big the system is
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • Leaking or broken duct sections
  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
  • A system that is not designed to move enough air

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on in Little Tey

  • Toilet extract systems
  • Offices and schools
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Supply ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • General extract ductwork

Looking after it afterwards

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
  • Include grilles in the cleaning rota
  • Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log

Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.

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.
