Ventilation Duct Cleaning in Stratford St Mary
Looking for ventilation duct cleaning in Stratford St Mary? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
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.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Stratford St Mary, done properly
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and people most often call us about extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Stratford St Mary
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
School buildings such as Stratford St Mary Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

What affects the quote in Stratford St Mary
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
