Ventilation duct cleaning in Mowden, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include ductwork with too few access panels to clean and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, on hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers.
In a village or hamlet like Mowden, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Mowden
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Around Mowden, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

Different parts, different methods
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How the visit works
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’re 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. Visits to a village like Mowden are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Log every filter change
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
