Ventilation duct cleaning in Spellbrook, done properly
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about rooms that feel airless when the system runs and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Spellbrook
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Look out for any of the following:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Spellbrook CofE Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Questions from Spellbrook
Can you clean school ventilation in Spellbrook during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Spellbrook. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Spellbrook after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Spellbrook needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you provide a report?
Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, on every job. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What if there are not enough access panels?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can quote for them.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep filters changed on time
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Spellbrook
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Visits to a village like Spellbrook are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- 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.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
