Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shaw
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. We’re often asked to deal with systems missing access panels and supply ducts with years of dust inside, across supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
In a place like Shaw, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Shaw
Is Shaw within the area you cover?
Yes, Shaw is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Shaw in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Shaw. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, where the building needs it. We agree a window when the ventilation can go off.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, then we send you a fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Expect it to take a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks, and we clear up before we go. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Shaw when you book.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Shaw?
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 1 mile east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Building management settings that run the plant
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work

- General extract ductwork

- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
Part by part
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
