How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Upper Harbledown knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Common questions in Upper Harbledown
Can ventilation in schools around Upper Harbledown be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 11 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Upper Harbledown. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in Upper Harbledown outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Upper Harbledown needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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 cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
