Ventilation duct cleaning across Nounsley

Ventilation duct cleaning in Nounsley, done properly

Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. Common call-outs are for poor airflow from the vents and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, across grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Honest limits

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Ventilation that is undersized for the building

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

What the work covers

  • Supply ductwork
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Offices and schools
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • General extract ductwork

What we do, step by step

Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Nounsley and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nounsley

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Nounsley

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Nounsley in the summer holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Nounsley. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Can you come to Nounsley after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Nounsley can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Do you provide a report?

Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep them in the maintenance log.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What about areas you can’t get to?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

How long does ventilation cleaning take?

It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.

What the work involves, part by part

Hospitals and care homes

Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.

Schools and colleges

Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The scale of the work
  • The condition of the system
  • A single visit or a regular plan

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
