What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Pentonville, done properly
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. We’re often asked to deal with systems missing access panels and stuffy rooms and stale air, on toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and offices and schools.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Pentonville is normally planned out of hours. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Pentonville
Can a school’s ventilation in Pentonville be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 57 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Pentonville. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Pentonville?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Pentonville does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
We list any unreached sections on the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, plus a photo report.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Before any visit in Pentonville, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Part by part
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Pentonville?
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
What we are most often called out for:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
School buildings such as St John Evangelist RC Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Building management settings that run the plant
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
