- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Sandy Balls
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and people most often call us about ventilation full of debris from building work and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust.
For a building in or near Sandy Balls, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Protect the system from construction dust
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
Common questions in Sandy Balls
Can you get to a site in Sandy Balls?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sandy Balls is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Sandy Balls?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Sandy Balls can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from pictures and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Sandy Balls run smoothly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Sandy Balls
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) registered as food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sandy Balls. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most.
School buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What we are called out for in Sandy Balls
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Sandy Balls, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
Questions to ask before booking

- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
