Portsea: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Portsea?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Portsea is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Portsea be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Portsea, the Food Standards Agency lists about 32 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you clean ventilation out of hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building can carry on as usual.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Portsea
Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. If you are dealing with blocked general extract ductwork and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, we can help.
Visits to a place like Portsea are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Portsea
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. A site near Portsea that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Portsea.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
When to call us in Portsea
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Systems missing access panels
School buildings such as Portsmouth Grammar School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

What affects the quote in Portsea
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Portsea
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Portsea and across Portsmouth. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
