Ventilation duct cleaning in Shorwell
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. Typical jobs include toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across toilet extract systems, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep filters changed on time
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
Questions from Shorwell
Can you come to Shorwell after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Shorwell keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Shorwell?
Yes, Shorwell is covered. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
The clean takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We will know more after the survey, so call 0345 646 2711, or email photos to get started.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Shorwell?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Shorwell run smoothly.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
