Ventilation duct cleaning in Upper Horsebridge
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. The work covers toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and supply ducts with years of dust inside.
In a smaller place like Upper Horsebridge, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Upper Horsebridge when you book.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Horsebridge
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Horsebridge
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. A site near Upper Horsebridge that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it is not missed.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
