About our ventilation duct cleaning in Norton Heath
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. 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 extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can put it right, from hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Norton Heath: your questions answered
Is Norton Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Norton Heath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Norton Heath keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, rather than kitchen extract. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Norton Heath.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
When to call us in Norton Heath
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Systems missing access panels
For buildings in and around Norton Heath, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What happens if it’s left?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Skipping it leaves you guessing. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Norton Heath rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
