Common questions in Rownhams
Can you come to Rownhams after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school ventilation in Rownhams in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Rownhams. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, plus a photo report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Rownhams, done properly
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. 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 are dealing with construction dust left in ducts after a refit and poor airflow from the vents, we can help.
Visits to a place like Rownhams are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Visits to a place like Rownhams are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Rownhams buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 13 schools, colleges and universities and about 22 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service in and around Rownhams, up to about a mile and a half out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Rownhams’s nearest hospital, Princess Anne Hospital, is about 1.3 miles south-east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
If you manage a school such as Rownhams St John's Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Rownhams
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Log every filter change
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Other services in Rownhams
What we’re called out for in Rownhams
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Poor airflow from the vents
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Rownhams, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Princess Anne Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-east).
