Why it’s worth doing now in Shotover Hill

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Shotover Hill
Is Shotover Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shotover Hill is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Shotover Hill be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Shotover Hill. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, plus a photo report.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The survey gives us a clearer idea, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to arrange it.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. We fit the work around when the building is in use. Holidays suit schools, and evenings or weekends suit offices.

What we are called out for in Shotover Hill
In a building in Shotover Hill, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
If you manage a school such as Wood Farm Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Shotover Hill, not ours.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
