Ventilation duct cleaning in Shalford, done properly
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. Common call-outs are for grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and supply ducts with years of dust inside, across offices and schools, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
Somewhere as small as Shalford, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
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.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Shalford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shalford
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why deal with it now?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Trading since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
