Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in The Platt

The process

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in The Platt knowing what to expect.

  1. We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
  2. Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
  3. Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Ventilation duct cleaning in The Platt, done properly

Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers supply ductwork, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about blocked general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What state the system is in
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in The Platt

Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Systems missing access panels
  • Supply ducts with years of dust inside
  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles

School buildings such as Frant Church of England Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether a survey comes first

Questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth doing now in The Platt

Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. A planned visit to The Platt is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Why book with us

  • A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
  • Fully insured
  • Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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 dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

The Platt questions

Do you work in villages like The Platt?

Yes. The Platt is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Is ventilation duct cleaning available in The Platt?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and The Platt is part of that. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and let us know what needs doing.

Do you work evenings and weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building can carry on as usual.

What happens to the waste?

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

Do you provide a report?

Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, along with pictures before and after.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

What a clean won’t put right

Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
  • Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
