Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Totham Hill
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and people most often call us about dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Totham Hill?
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Systems missing access panels
- Poor airflow from the vents
Around Totham Hill, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
Comparing quotes
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you will receive afterwards
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Log every filter change
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Somewhere as small as Totham Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Totham Hill
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Totham Hill
Dust in ducts doesn’t 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Totham Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
