Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shilton
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. If you have damp or stale smells from grilles and poor airflow from the vents, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Shilton before we set off.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shilton and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
