Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Shirley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send 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
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Shirley
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you are dealing with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and stuffy rooms and stale air, we can help, from offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems onwards.
Visits to a place like Shirley are fitted around opening hours. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shirley
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Shirley than wait for a failure.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
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.
FAQs for Shirley
Will you come out to Shirley?
Yes, Shirley is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Shirley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Shirley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. In a place like Shirley, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
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 work begins.
