Ventilation system cleaning
Clean ducts, healthy air, an installation that runs the way it should.
Filters checked and replaced during the same visit if needed.
All our services
CLEAN DUCTS, HEALTHY AIR
EVERY VISIT INCLUDES
Ducts along the run
Not only the openings you can see.
Hood and grease filters
Kitchen extraction back to full draw.
Filters checked
Replaced in the same visit if needed.
Flow rates measured
So the result is a number, not an impression.
Rooms left clean
Covers down, dust taken at the source.
You breathe whatever is in the ducts
A controlled ventilation system moves the air of your whole home through the same ducts, day after day. Dust, grease and damp build up inside them – and the airflow drops while the fan works harder.
We clean the ducts and terminals, check the filters and measure the flow rates. Cleaner air indoors, and an installation that stops consuming more than it should.
01 Kitchen extraction and extractor hoods
Our services include the professional cleaning of ventilation systems. This covers kitchen extraction and extractor hoods as well as room ventilation.
A kitchen duct collects grease, and grease is fuel. It lines the inside of the run from the hood to the outside wall, it stops the filter doing the job it was fitted for, and it is the reason extraction ducting is cleaned to a schedule rather than when somebody finally notices a smell.
So we clean the hood, the filters and the duct behind them – not only the part that can be reached by opening the front.
02 Room ventilation and heat recovery
A controlled ventilation system runs quietly and without stopping, which is exactly what makes it easy to forget. Dust settles the length of the ducts, the terminals in each room silt up, and the filters load until the fan is working against them instead of through them.
By regularly removing dirt, dust and deposits, these areas stay clean and functional. We work carefully and with suitable cleaning methods – including in places where cleaning is particularly demanding because of height or structural conditions.
In a well-sealed house this installation is the only way the air gets changed. That is worth remembering before treating it as an appliance one can leave alone.
03 Filters, and what a loaded one costs
A loaded filter does not stop the air. It makes the fan work harder for less of it, and you pay for that twice – once in electricity, once in the air that no longer arrives at the far end of the house.
Filters are consumables, and the right interval depends on the house and on what is around it. We tell you which grade yours takes and roughly how often it wants changing, so that it stops being something that only happens when we visit.
04 What you notice afterwards
Ventilation is judged by its absence. Nobody remarks on air that is fine, so the decline goes unmarked as well – there is no day on which it stopped being fine, only a season by the end of which it no longer is.
What comes back is measurable, and some of it is audible. The flow rates return to what the installation was designed around, the fan drops to the speed it was meant to run at, and cooking leaves the kitchen instead of settling into the hall.
Good to know
Another question? The simplest thing is to call us – we answer without jargon.
You usually hear it before you see it. The fan runs louder or longer, the air arriving at the far end of the house drops off, and cooking smells start settling into the hall instead of leaving. None of it happens on a particular day, which is why it goes unremarked.
Both. The hood, the grease filters and the duct behind them – not only the part you can reach by opening the front. Grease lines the whole run from the hood to the outside wall, and grease is fuel.
Far more often than the ducts need cleaning – they are consumables, not fittings. The right interval depends on the house and on what is around it. We tell you which grade yours takes and roughly how often, so it stops being something that only happens when we visit.
We measure the flow rates. It is the only way to say whether the installation is back to what it was designed around, and it means the result is a number rather than an impression.
Covers go down and the dust is taken at the source, the same way we work in a room with an open fireplace. Filters are checked as part of the visit and replaced there and then if they need it.
In an older, draughty house it is less critical. In a well-sealed one the installation is the only way the air in your rooms gets changed at all – which is worth remembering before treating it as an appliance that looks after itself.
