How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Lordswood
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and stuffy rooms and stale air, on toilet extract systems, offices and schools and supply ductwork.
For a building near Lordswood, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
How the visit works
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 a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Your opening hours decide when we come to Lordswood, not ours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Lordswood
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Lordswood: your questions answered
Can the work in Lordswood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Lordswood can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school’s ventilation in Lordswood be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 21 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lordswood, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with pictures of the inside. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Bigger sites are split into stages, to fit around the building.
What happens if it’s left?
If a building in Lordswood 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. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
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.
