About our ventilation duct cleaning in Saddlescombe
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you are dealing with rooms that feel airless when the system runs and supply ducts with years of dust inside, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens if it’s left?
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Saddlescombe is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. In a small place like Saddlescombe, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- 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 photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Log every filter change
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
