Ventilation duct cleaning in Maypole
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. The work covers supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems, and common reasons people get in touch are dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and odours carried round the building by the ducts.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Maypole is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Maypole questions
Do you work overnight in Maypole?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Maypole doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Maypole?
Yes, we work in Maypole and the places around it. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with photos before and after.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What happens if it’s left?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. If your building in Maypole has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
