Ventilation duct cleaning in Pangbourne
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Pangbourne and right across Oxfordshire, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems, and common reasons people get in touch are stuffy rooms and stale air and systems missing access panels.
In a place like Pangbourne, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and we clear up before we go. A site near Pangbourne normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
