About our ventilation duct cleaning in Woodhatch
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow from the vents and supply ducts with years of dust inside, on grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and general extract ductwork.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
Leave it or put it right?
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. A planned visit to Woodhatch is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Visits to a village like Woodhatch are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Woodhatch
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
If you manage a school such as Weald Community Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Common questions in Woodhatch
Can you get to a site in Woodhatch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Woodhatch outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Woodhatch keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost 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 we start.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
