Ventilation Duct Cleaning in Skeete
We cover Skeete for ventilation duct cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
What we are called out for in Skeete
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Royal Victoria Hospital, about 5.6 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Skeete, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Skeete, done properly
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow from the vents and damp or stale smells from grilles, across toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
For a building in or near Skeete, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Log every filter change
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Skeete can be planned properly.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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, alongside our reports.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
