- General extract ductwork

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. For a place like Thorpe Bay, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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 work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Thorpe Bay
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Thorpe Bay?

- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
