About our ventilation duct cleaning in Patching
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and stuffy rooms and stale air.
Somewhere as small as Patching, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Patching
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Watch for water stains around grilles
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Part by part
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
When to call us in Patching
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
Healthcare buildings such as Zachary Merton Hospital, about 3.4 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Patching, yours matters too.

Questions from Patching
Can you clean school ventilation in Patching during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Patching. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Patching?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Patching is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are all available, to keep the building open.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Patching.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- 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.
