Ventilation duct cleaning across Matfield

Ventilation duct cleaning in Matfield

A dusty duct in a building in Matfield is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. If you have odours carried round the building by the ducts and supply ducts with years of dust inside, we can put it right.

In a village or hamlet like Matfield, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The timing of a visit to Matfield is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. We open the ductwork through its access panels.
  3. Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. We take after photos and send the certificate and report.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Getting a quote

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Questions from Matfield

Do you work overnight in Matfield?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Matfield needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Is Matfield within the area you cover?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Matfield is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?

That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.

What happens to the waste?

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

When it’s something else

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
  • Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What staff can safely do

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, alongside 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 is where we come in.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Matfield?

Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
  • Supply ducts with years of dust inside
  • Ducts that need a clean before handover
  • Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt

Classrooms and halls at schools such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
  • Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
  • Stick to the filter change schedule
  • Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning

If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.

Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.

Different parts, different methods

Offices and retail

Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. Access is agreed with the building manager.

Supply ductwork

Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
