What the work involves, part by part

Extract ductwork

Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.

Schools and colleges

Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.

Keeping the system healthy

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Keep to the inspection interval in your report
  • Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
  • Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
  • Log every filter change

Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.

Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Seasalter

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 6 schools, colleges and universities and about 11 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food across Seasalter and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. For Seasalter, the closest hospital is Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, roughly 2.5 miles north-east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. Seasalter, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

For schools like Joy Lane Primary Foundation School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 2.5 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Seasalter are no different.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Somewhere like Seasalter, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What staff can safely do

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

FAQs for Seasalter

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Seasalter in the summer holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Seasalter, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Do you work at weekends in Seasalter?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Seasalter does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

Do you clean grilles and diffusers?

Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so dust is not left at the outlets.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?

It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.

What is TR19® Air?

TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.

What a clean will not put right

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Leaking or broken duct sections
  • Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
  • Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Offices and schools
  • Supply ductwork
  • General extract ductwork
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Hospitals and care homes

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size of the system
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Parking and loading at the site

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

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 any work starts.
