Install & maintain Ductwork & AHU installation
Design, install and commission HVAC air handling units and ventilation ductwork for buildings across the UK.
Clean Ducts designs, installs and commissions HVAC air handling units and ventilation ductwork for buildings across the UK. From consultancy and design through to electrical control panels, air commissioning and balancing, we deliver ventilation systems that run efficiently and meet current industry standards.
We provide consultancy, design, installation, electrical control panel setup, and air commissioning and balancing for ventilation systems. Our mechanical heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) work spans many sectors, including healthcare, education and commercial buildings.
We work closely with you throughout the project to deliver on time and on budget, presenting solutions that use the latest energy-saving technologies alongside cost-effective materials. We invest in ongoing training so our quality standards stay aligned with current industry legislation and compliance.
We understand the deadlines and pressures of construction. Our project management and planning teams keep work moving and respond quickly to issues that arise during the build.
We have installed ventilation ductwork across a wide range of environments:
Health and safety underpins every project. Our managers are IOSH trained and assess the working environment before work begins, so teams arrive with the right tools and safety equipment. Where possible, we propose environmentally friendly designs that use sustainable materials and energy-saving technologies.
We work across the public and private sectors on both new-build construction and refurbishment, covering your full heating, ventilation and air conditioning requirements, with ongoing support and maintenance.
Alongside design and installation, our mechanical engineers service and maintain air handling and HVAC units. We supply and fit filters and provide a planned maintenance service, so your units stay operational and the fresh air entering the building is properly filtered and clear of the dirt, debris and contaminants that contribute to poor indoor air quality and sick building syndrome.
Filters vary widely in quality. Drawing on our industry knowledge, we select the right filter products for your building and price them competitively, then work with your maintenance team on clear filter-monitoring plans with regular updates and reports for compliance.
We install, maintain and calibrate air pressure gauges, choosing models suited to your building’s needs, including clean room and complex medical or pharmaceutical environments.
Our BESA-trained ventilation and ductwork hygiene teams clean air handling units and ductwork to BESA TR19 standards. During planned maintenance and inspection visits we carry out vacuum testing and reporting to monitor dust and debris build-up in your system, giving clear recommendations on when cleaning is required. This keeps airflow to your building clean and clear of contaminants such as mould, bacteria and germs.
Installing commercial kitchen extract and ductwork is a specialised service, essential to the safe operation of a commercial kitchen’s ventilation. Systems should be installed to support ongoing hygiene and to allow proper access for cleaning to BESA TR19 Grease standards. Our process is straightforward.
We carry out a thorough assessment of the commercial kitchen space to determine the optimal layout and design for the extract and ductwork systems.
Working with your architects and engineers, we create a comprehensive design that meets safety, health and building code requirements. This includes specifying the type and size of extraction hoods, ducts and fans to suit the kitchen.
Once the design is agreed, we install and commission the system so it performs correctly and is ready to be maintained to hygiene standards from day one.
Professional installation protects the performance, efficiency and compliance of your ventilation system:
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Associate member, Clean Ducts works to recognised ventilation-hygiene standards across design, installation and maintenance.

Every installation is priced on its own requirements, so we do not publish standard rates. The main factors are the size and complexity of the system, the amount of design and commissioning work involved, how easy the installation areas are to access, the condition of any existing plant, and whether we are working on a clear new-build site or fitting around a live, occupied building. The route to a price is simple: we survey your building free of charge, then provide a fixed quotation for the full scope, so you know the cost before any work begins.
Yes. We provide consultancy and design through to installation, electrical control panel setup and air commissioning and balancing, so one team carries your project from drawings to a working system. On commercial kitchen projects we work alongside your architects and engineers to meet safety, health and building code requirements, and across all projects we look for energy-saving technologies and cost-effective materials. Because the same team designs, installs and commissions your mechanical ventilation, the system you receive is the one that was actually sized and balanced for your building.
Yes. We work on both new-build construction and refurbishment projects across the public and private sectors, including hospitals, schools, offices, retail units and care homes where the building stays in use during the works. Our IOSH-trained managers assess the working environment before work begins, so teams arrive with the right tools and safety equipment, and our project management and planning teams schedule the installation around your operation. When issues arise mid-build, as they do on any construction project, we respond quickly to keep the programme on track.
Yes. Commercial kitchen extract installation is one of our specialist services, and it follows a straightforward process: a site assessment of the kitchen space, a design produced with your architects and engineers, then installation and commissioning. Just as importantly, we install systems so they can be properly maintained afterwards, with access provision that supports hygiene cleaning to BESA TR19 Grease standards. Grease deposits in extract ductwork are a recognised fire risk, so a system that cannot be reached for kitchen extract cleaning stores up problems from the day it is switched on.
Yes. We have installed ventilation ductwork in pharmaceutical, research and cleanroom facilities as well as hospitals and other healthcare settings. These environments demand tighter control than general commercial work: cleanrooms are classified under ISO 14644 by the concentration of airborne particles permitted, so the ductwork, filtration and air pressures serving them must be specified and commissioned to suit. We also install, maintain and calibrate air pressure gauges chosen for clean room and complex medical or pharmaceutical environments, and we provide cleanroom commissioning and validation once installation is complete.
There is no single interval: it depends on the filter grade, the environment the unit serves and how much dust and contamination the intake air carries. Under Regulation 5 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, mechanical ventilation systems must be maintained in an efficient state and in good working order, and blocked filters work against that. Rather than guessing, we set up a planned maintenance schedule with filter monitoring, regular compliance reports and pressure gauge readings, then replace filters when the data shows they need it. Our engineers carry out air handling unit cleaning as part of the same planned visits.
Yes. Air commissioning and balancing is part of every installation, so airflows are measured and adjusted against the design figures rather than assumed, and electrical control panels are set up and proven before the system goes into service. After handover we can continue with ongoing support and maintenance: during planned visits our BESA-trained teams carry out vacuum testing to monitor dust and debris build-up, with clear recommendations on when ductwork cleaning to BESA TR19 standards is actually required, so you are never paying for cleaning the system does not yet need.
We walk the system, tell you what’s compliant and what isn’t, and put it in writing. A named engineer replies within 24 hours.
