About our ventilation duct cleaning in Pilley Bailey
Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers

What we are called out for in Pilley Bailey
In a building in Pilley Bailey, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
School buildings such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Pilley Bailey buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens or food service across Pilley Bailey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. For Pilley Bailey, the closest hospital is Lymington New Forest Hospital, roughly 1.5 miles south-west. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

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 from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Somewhere as small as Pilley Bailey, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team to keep disruption down.
Also in Pilley Bailey
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it isn’t missed.
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.
Common questions in Pilley Bailey
Can a school’s ventilation in Pilley Bailey be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Pilley Bailey, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Pilley Bailey?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Pilley Bailey needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. Planning a trip to Pilley Bailey ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
