About our ventilation duct cleaning in Oldbury
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. Typical jobs include blocked general extract ductwork and ventilation full of debris from building work, across general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes.
Somewhere as small as Oldbury, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Oldbury can be planned properly.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
What affects the quote in Oldbury
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Oldbury
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.
When to call us in Oldbury
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
Wherever a school like Ightham Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Problems with how the system is controlled
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Oldbury
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. In a place like Oldbury, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
