About our ventilation duct cleaning in Northdown
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and blocked general extract ductwork.
In a smaller place like Northdown, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Building management settings that run the plant
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply ductwork

- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Tell us when your site near Northdown is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep filters changed on time
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Northdown
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Northdown in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Northdown, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Northdown?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Northdown keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Is Northdown in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Northdown included.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
