Ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Common, done properly
A dusty duct in a building in Lower Common is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. If you’re dealing with poor airflow from the vents and blocked general extract ductwork, we can put it right, from hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Lower Common
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
For schools like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing

How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.
In-house cleaning or 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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lower Common and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Lower Common?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lower Common.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Common
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
