Complete Ductwork Services, including Management, Risk Assessment and Cleaning

If not kept clean, grease extraction ductwork poses

a substantial fire risk. Grease is a potential fuel

for fire causing fire to spread rapidly throughout

an extract system, into other areas of a building,

increasing risk to human life. According to a report

by the London fire brigade, there is on average 1

kitchen extract ductwork fire every 9days in greater

London alone and insurers may not always pay out

for claims, if the duct system is the found cause of

why a fire spreads. Ductwork systems need to be

maintained and kept in a state in accordance with

insurance policy conditions or warranties.

A Right First Time Policy is the foundation to providing

a high quality service. Ductclean (UK) Ltd are committed

to following our Right First Time policy. We take the

time to listen and understand our customers’ needs and

requirements, constantly striving to develop and improve

all of our services.

Ductclean (UK) Ltd have developed and created a

bespoke database system, VMP (ventilation management

programme). VMP allows us to record all systems that have

been surveyed and/or cleaned, and enable us to provide

clients with an in-depth report, detailing the condition

or cleanliness of your ventilation systems, all reports are

available on request by clients and contain all the relevant

industry compliant information.

cleaning for councils and housing associations

Client liaison is essential when carrying out projects

involving a large number of properties. We utilise a

number of different methods to communicate, with

both end users (tenants) and clients. Where required

we can make telephone appointments directly with

tenants, provide pre works questionnaires, and we always

provide letter drops to all properties. We ensure that

we provide high levels of customer service at all times.

NHS Compliance

HTM 03-01 has outlined new guidance and procedures

for the NHS properties and the management of their

ventilation equipment. All of Ductclean (UK) Ltd’s work

are undertaken in accordance with current HTM standards.

Asbestos Controlled Cleaning

Historically, Asbestos rope gaskets were used as

air tight seals on access doors, fire damper stops

and between angle iron flanges on ductwork joints

until the 1990s. Asbestos contamination is a

significant health risk in many ventilation systems.

Various types of asbestos can be found within ventilation

systems and asbestos fibres may be found to have been

dispersed outside the distribution ductwork, into occupied

areas. If asbestos has been detected, the risk of exposure

to the building occupants has to be controlled.

If this situation arises, as a specialist licenced asbestos

contractors, Ductclean (UK) Ltd should be contacted to

decontaminate affected areas and then, to control the

risk of further exposure, to either remove or encapsulate

the asbestos source. Ductclean (UK) Ltd are licenced by

the Health & Safety Executive to carry out all such asbestos

works.

The safety of

tenants is our

Our UKATA approved training academy is a state

of the art, self contained facility based at our

head office.

The training academy has two bespoke classrooms, each

with 12 desks, all desks dock a touch screen tablet devices,

enabling each delegate to access the latest course material

and connect to the SMART interactive whiteboard in

each classroom.

We have designed a practical area to replicate the

environments where asbestos removal is typically required,

for both licensed and unlicensed materials. The areas

include ceiling tiles, boilers, electrical services and cavity

areas. We have also designed areas specifically to stimulate

real life environments, such as a gas meter cupboard,

complete with mock asbestos boarding and boilers

with flues.

Our bespoke training area also contains all the equipment

needed for practical training on ductwork cleaning. We have

an extensive ductwork system, suspended from different

height levels throughout the facility, to help replicate the

different height conditions engineers may come across

at different sites. The ductwork system also allows for

delegates to gain experience of working at height and also

installing access doors of various dimensions and shapes.

Additionally, a mock kitchen with cooker and canopy

in present, to enable practical kitchen and oven deep

cleaning training.

Vanguard Sensor Technology; a revolutionary

way in which the world monitors ductwork

deposit levels.

Ductclean (UK) Ltd embarked on a visionary idea, to create

the world’s first ductwork deposit monitoring sensor. The

Vanguard Sensor has been developed in accordance to the

regulations set out by the building research establishment.

This innovation is notably the first of its kind, and currently

operates at the O2 arena, Greenwich, Kings College

London and Centrica Plc’s portfolio of offices. The

Vanguard Sensor captures the real meaning of ventilation

system based monitoring.

The World’s first ductwork

cleaning – only clean

when required

Until now the only methods available to the industry for

testing and monitoring ductwork systems have been based

on human assessment requiring a visual or manual test on

each system across a number of locations, for each and

every site. Vanguard Sensors eliminate the risk of human

error, and can remotely and accurately monitor ductwork

across a client’s whole portfolio.

Our sensor can be set to measure dust and grease build up

to any agreed failure point. TR19’s tables 5 and 9 outline

the current advised deposit levels for the ductwork cleaning

industry, with the help of our sensor, remedial action can

now take place based on factual condition based on

monitoring, and not just actioned as part of the regular

planned maintenance. By having this information at your

fingertips, clients may find that previously planned cleaning

intervals could change, potentially providing substantial

cost savings, due to reduced maintenance visits.


The work place (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulation 1992, regulation 5

“Requires that mechanical ventilation systems used for

providing general ventilation are maintained including

cleaned as appropriate, in an efficient state, in efficient

working order and in good repair”.

Regulation 6

“52 mechanical ventilation systems (including air-

conditioning systems) should be regularly and adequately

cleaned. They should also be properly tested and maintained

to ensure that they are kept clean and free from anything

which may contaminate the air”.

Condition monitoring takes the surprise out of ventilation

clean requirements and helps avoid expensive call out/shut

down cleans.
