- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Earley
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Common call-outs are for dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Around a place like Lower Earley, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Lower Earley.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Earley
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
When to call us in Lower Earley
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Wherever a school like Radstock Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
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.
