What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Newtown
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. If you have systems missing access panels and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, we can put it right.
In a place like Newtown, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Newtown buildings and their air
There are about 25 schools, colleges and universities, about 33 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 5 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Newtown and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 0.6 miles south-west of Newtown is Royal Berkshire Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. At about 37 miles from central London, Newtown sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 0.6 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage a school such as New Town Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. In a place like Newtown, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. We protect the work area and take everything away.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
FAQs for Newtown
Do you work at weekends in Newtown?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Newtown needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you clean school ventilation in Newtown in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 25 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Newtown. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Newtown?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can quote for them.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
