Ventilation duct cleaning in Shellow Bowells, done properly
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team to keep disruption down.
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- File each ventilation report with the building records
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
What we do, step by step
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Shellow Bowells can be planned properly.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Shellow Bowells
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Shellow Bowells?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shellow Bowells is part of that. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can the work in Shellow Bowells be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Shellow Bowells?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Why act early in Shellow Bowells
Where a building in Shellow Bowells serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. Planning a trip to Shellow Bowells ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
