Ventilation duct cleaning in Whitley, done properly
Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. If you have ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, we can help, from toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork onwards.
For a building near Whitley, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Whitley
If a building in Whitley has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Even a site near Whitley that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. For a site near Whitley, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Questions from Whitley
Do you clean school ventilation in Whitley in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Whitley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Whitley after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Whitley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you work in Whitley?
Yes. We work in Whitley and the rest of Reading, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Whitley
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 schools, colleges and universities, about 22 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Whitley. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. We cover Whitley, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. For Whitley, the closest hospital is Royal Berkshire Hospital, roughly 1.6 miles north. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 1.6 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. School buildings such as John Madejski Academy are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
