Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in Trowley Bottom

Between visits

So the system stays in good health:

  • Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
  • Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
  • Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
  • Log every filter change

Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.

Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Trowley Bottom

Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. The work covers general extract ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning.

Somewhere as small as Trowley Bottom, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.

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

What we do, step by step

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. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Trowley Bottom before we set off.

  1. We look at the system and any earlier reports.
  2. We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

How to prepare

  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Getting a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • How big the system is
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Any permits to work or inductions

We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

  • The site address and the type of premises

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Trowley Bottom?

Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Ventilation full of debris from building work
  • Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
  • Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
  • Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning

Wherever a school like Flamstead Village School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Trowley Bottom questions

Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Trowley Bottom?

Do you work overnight in Trowley Bottom?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Trowley Bottom can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.

What happens to the waste?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.

What about areas you cannot get to?

We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Trowley Bottom

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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.
