How we price ventilation duct cleaning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • The size of the system
  • What state the system is in
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The times the site is available

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What to send for a quote

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Osidge

We cover Osidge and the rest of Greater London for ventilation duct cleaning, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. Common call-outs are for poor airflow from the vents and ducts that need a clean before handover, across general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes.

London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so ventilation cleaning in Osidge is typically planned out of hours. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
  • Protect the system from construction dust
  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers

We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it is not missed.

Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

How it works

We are 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. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Osidge needs from us.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
  2. We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
  3. Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
  4. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
  5. We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice

What the work involves, part by part

Offices and retail

Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.

Grilles and diffusers

Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so dust on them is not blown back in.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Common questions in Osidge

Can you come to Osidge after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Osidge needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Can ventilation in schools around Osidge be cleaned out of term?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 48 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Osidge. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Do you inspect before cleaning?

Yes, always. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What about areas you cannot get to?

The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

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.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Osidge

Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles
  • Stuffy rooms and stale air
  • Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected

Classrooms and halls at schools such as Monkfrith Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
