Ventilation duct cleaning in Somerley, done properly
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. Common call-outs are for poor airflow from the vents and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, on hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- 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
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Somerley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with photos 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.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Questions from Somerley
Can ventilation in schools around Somerley be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Somerley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Somerley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Somerley is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. We can install panels to open those sections up.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
