Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wickham
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork, and people most often call us about musty smells from the ventilation and poor airflow from the vents.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. In a small place like Wickham, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wickham.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Protect the system from construction dust
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it isn’t missed.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Common questions in Wickham
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Wickham?
Yes, we work in Wickham and the places around it. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Is Wickham within the area you cover?
Yes, Wickham is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with photos before and after.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can fit them.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
