Air Duct Cleaning Services

Background

It is well known that clean, fresh air in buildings is the key to safe, comfortable and efficient working conditions, and that contaminated air is one of the most common causes of Sick Building Syndrome.

According to environmental health experts such as the US Environmental Protection Agency, Sick Building Syndrome is often linked to poor indoor air quality which may result from biological contamination, such as bacteria, molds, pollen, and viruses that may breed in air ducts, humidifiers and drain pans.

In fact, the Associated Code of Practice from the Health and Safety Commission states that all mechanical ventilation systems should be regularly and properly cleaned, tested and maintained to ensure that they are kept clean and free from anything which may contaminate the air. Regular air duct cleaning is clearly essential.

Inevitably all air duct systems become fouled over a period of time. The rate and severity of contamination can be attributed to a number of factors. However it is possible to deal with these issues through a sensible programme of hygiene cleaning of air ducts. For example, this may be as simple as changing the filters on a regular basis.

Therefore, to maintain a fresh air supply, it is essential that the air duct systems in your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) are maintained through a regular programme of air duct cleaning.

Air Duct Cleaning Service - Overview

Pro-Duct Clean is a company that specialises in air duct cleaning services for UK businesses.

We have access to a wide variety of extraction devices and specialised air jets and brushes specifically for air duct cleaning, that will enable us to remove contamination from your air ducts and disinfect where necessary, depending on the design and configuration of your system.

An air duct system is generally cleaned in the direction of the airflow. Therefore, a supply system is cleaning in its entirety from the fresh air intakes through to the supply diffusers. Conversely, the return extract is cleaned from the extract grills through to the mixing chamber or discharge.

Moreover, we often find that existing air duct systems have insufficient access points to enable cleaning. If this is the case then we can also install access doors throughout the system to enable regular inspection, cleaning and disinfection to be properly undertaken.

On completion of air duct cleaning services, we recommend that the ventilation system is sanitised to provide long term protection. For example, a polymeric emulsion Sanitiser (PDS) is atomised into the ventilation system. Once applied into the ventilation system it forms an internal lining on the air duct which reduces corrosion. PDS also contains an anti-microbial for long term air duct protection.

Our air duct cleaning service fully encompasses the TR/19 best practice standard from the HVCA.
