About our ventilation duct cleaning in Marlow Common
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. We are often asked to deal with construction dust left in ducts after a refit and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, on grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Marlow Common
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Marlow Common: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Marlow Common?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Marlow Common does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Marlow Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Marlow Common included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so the whole system can be cleaned.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Marlow Common.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
