- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Around Portsmouth Point, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Ventilation duct cleaning in Portsmouth Point
A dusty duct in a building in Portsmouth Point is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. If you have toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can put it right.
Around a place like Portsmouth Point, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 30 schools, colleges and universities, about 41 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 24 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Portsmouth Point. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. For Portsmouth Point, the closest hospital is Royal Portsmouth Hospital, roughly 1 mile north-east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
For workplaces around Portsmouth Harbour station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Wherever a school like St Jude's CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal Portsmouth Hospital (about 1 mile north-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Common questions in Portsmouth Point
Do you work in villages like Portsmouth Point?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Portsmouth Point included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Portsmouth Point be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Portsmouth Point can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
As a guide, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can quote for them.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
