How It Works
About Ductwork Cleaning
Our comprehensive ductwork cleaning service removes accumulated dust, debris, and microbial growth from your ventilation system, improving indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency.
We use industry-leading techniques including robotic inspection, mechanical brushing, air whipping, and HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction to thoroughly clean all ductwork components.
Each project follows a structured approach: initial video inspection, creation of access points where needed, systematic cleaning, post-cleaning verification, and detailed documentation for compliance purposes.
Service Benefits
- Enhanced indoor air quality
- Improved system efficiency
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Regulatory compliance assured
Featured Project
An Array of Maintenance Services for a Hampshire Leisure Club
Objectives
We were called to a Hampshire-based leisure club in 2023 for a range of different IAQ servicing tasks including air handling unit (AHU) maintenance. With up to hundreds of gym members in the building at any one time, clean, ventilated air is essential. In this environment in particular, with swathes of people breathing heavily after a tough workout, CO2 can rise into dangerous levels if the polluted indoor air is not properly mixed with clean outside air.
We were asked to perform the following tasks as part of the club's general maintenance: fire damper maintenance, fitting new duct access doors, perform a Ventilation Hygiene Risk Assessment (VHRA), perform AHU servicing and cleaning, perform plenum cleaning, and remove grease from the kitchen extractor.
Solutions
Our expert team got to work on these tasks over the course of the week. We completed each of these tasks to a professional standard and recorded the results with photographs to build a completion report.
All in all, our client was very pleased that we could help them remain compliant and keep their members safe, healthy, and happy. The last thing these gym members want is to breathe harmful, polluted air, so we're glad we could improve the air quality in this space.
Results
This maintenance work is essential for maintaining compliance with UK laws and legislations, and is particularly important in a space like this in which the ability to breathe clean, filtered air is incredibly important for health. Some of the tasks we completed, like commercial kitchen extractor fan and ductwork cleaning, is about more than just meeting compliance (like BESA TR19) -- it's about making sure the building remains safe for everyone. Especially where large groups of people are concerned, reducing fire risks are paramount.
Challenges
- Variety of different maintenance tasks required
- Health-conscious client
- Multiple-day operation
"When you're dealing with a high-traffic facility like a leisure club, where hundreds of people are exerting themselves every day, poor air quality isn't just uncomfortable -- it's a health risk. Our team was brought in to carry out essential servicing, from AHU cleaning to fire damper maintenance, all aimed at keeping the environment compliant and, most importantly, safe. Spaces like this demand constant vigilance when it comes to ventilation; CO₂ levels can rise rapidly without proper airflow."
