When to call us in Rowstock

Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Harwell Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Ventilation duct cleaning in Rowstock, done properly
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you are dealing with odours carried round the building by the ducts and systems missing access panels, we can put it right, from general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Rowstock, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
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, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Rowstock questions
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Rowstock?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Rowstock included. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Is Rowstock within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rowstock included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
We hold 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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Rowstock answers the question. With notice, the visit to Rowstock can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. For a village or hamlet like Rowstock, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
