What we’re called out for in Tongham
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
Wherever a school like St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Tongham
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Tongham and right across Surrey, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Every job begins with a survey and a fixed quote. If you have dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and systems missing access panels, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Tongham, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a site near Tongham, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Tongham
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Questions from Tongham
Can a school’s ventilation in Tongham be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 20 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Tongham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Tongham after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Tongham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
