Ventilation duct cleaning in Old Tree, done properly
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 so they’re covered next time. The work covers toilet extract systems, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers, and common reasons people get in touch are systems missing access panels and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers.
Work in a small place like Old Tree starts with agreeing access and timings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Old Tree
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Old Tree
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Old Tree?
Yes, we work in Old Tree and the places around it. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details of the site.
Can you come to Old Tree after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Old Tree and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

- Design problems with the ductwork layout

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Log every filter change
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

What else we do in Old Tree
Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
