Ventilation duct cleaning around Wickham
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 4 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food in and around Wickham, up to about a mile and a half out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west of Wickham. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
School buildings such as Wickham Church of England Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Wickham, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Knowle Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west).

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Wickham
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Wickham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wickham. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Wickham after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Wickham can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so the room side matches the duct side.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. For a site near Wickham, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wickham
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
