Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, always. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes, together with the ductwork. They show up in the photo report before and after.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Typically, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, to fit around the building.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Thatcham
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. 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. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are blocked general extract ductwork and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
Around a town like Thatcham, the buildings with ducted ventilation are typically offices, schools, surgeries and care homes. Their supply and extract ducts all gather dust over time.
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, and we’re fully insured.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule

The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
