Common questions in West Ashling
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in West Ashling?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Ashling is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Will you come out to West Ashling?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and West Ashling is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The survey gives us a clearer idea, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to arrange it.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, on every job. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
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.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to West Ashling.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- 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.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What affects the quote in West Ashling
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
