Ventilation duct cleaning across St Mary Hoo

Keeping the system healthy

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
  • File each ventilation report with the building records
  • Log every filter change
  • Report dust blowing from grilles right away

We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it doesn’t slip.

Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in St Mary Hoo

Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. If you are dealing with ducts that need a clean before handover and systems missing access panels, we can put it right.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The scale of the work
  • What state the system is in
  • Parking and loading at the site

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Problems your staff have spotted

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How it works

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Somewhere as small as St Mary Hoo, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

Before we arrive

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How to get a quote

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Different parts, different methods

Grilles and diffusers

Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.

Schools and colleges

We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.

What happens if it’s left?

Where a building in St Mary Hoo serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Why us?

  • Every visit written up, with photos
  • We are fully insured
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Multi-site and managed buildings

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
