Ventilation duct cleaning in Thorney, done properly

In a building in Thorney, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. Typical jobs include toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, across grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.

Somewhere as small as Thorney, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thorney

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What we are called out for in Thorney

Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
  • Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
  • Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms

Wherever a school like St Catherine Catholic Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Our hiring checklist

Thorney buildings and their air

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 18 schools, colleges and universities, about 12 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 3 hotels and B&Bs with registered kitchens or food service within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Thorney. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. At about 17 miles from central London, Thorney sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Thorney’s nearest hospital, Hillingdon Hospital, is about 2 miles north-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

Workplaces around Iver station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. Hillingdon Hospital, about 2 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Thorney, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Thorney is about 3 miles south-west of Hillingdon, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Thorney or further out, ventilation duct cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Buckinghamshire, we cover 263 places, Thorney among them. London is in our area too, around 17 miles away.

If your site is just outside Thorney, we cover West Drayton (1 mile east), Yiewsley (1 mile north-east), Cowley (2 miles north), Uxbridge (3 miles north) and Hillingdon (3 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as High Wycombe (14 miles north-west), Chesham (15 miles north), Marlow (13 miles west), Amersham (13 miles north), Beaconsfield (10 miles north-west) and Chalfont St Peter (8 miles north).

The process

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Thorney can be planned properly.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Questions from Thorney

Can you work in Thorney outside opening hours?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Thorney keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.

Can ventilation in schools around Thorney be cleaned out of term?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Thorney. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?

Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.

What information do you need?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

Will you clean the vents in the rooms?

Yes, together with the ductwork. They show up in the photo report before and after.

Why it’s worth doing now in Thorney

Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. In a place like Thorney, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What you get with us

  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
  • Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
  • Photo reports with every job
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Looking after it afterwards

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

  • Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
  • Protect the system from construction dust
  • Keep to the inspection interval in your report
  • Watch for water stains around grilles

You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.

Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
