Inside the duct

How a duct gets clean

  1. 01Before

    Over the years, dust builds up on the duct walls — and in kitchen ducts, grease too. Deposits narrow the duct and can restrict airflow.

  2. 02Cleaning

    We clean the inside of the duct, removing dust, grease and other deposits.

  3. 03After

    The duct walls are clear of dust and deposits.

The result

Clean duct. No dust, no grease.

This is what a duct looks like after cleaning: the dust, grease and cobwebs are gone from the walls.

Signs

When to have your ventilation checked

Ventilation goes unnoticed until it starts to struggle. If you notice any of these signs, it’s worth checking the valves, ducts and unit.

  1. A dark ring around the valve

    A grey ring of dust on the wall or ceiling around an air valve usually means the duct is dusty too.

  2. Weak extraction

    Open a window slightly and hold a sheet of paper to an extract valve. If it isn’t pulled in, the draught may be weak. It’s a simple home check, not a ventilation measurement.

  3. A damp bathroom

    The mirror stays fogged up long after a shower and the walls don’t dry — humid air may not be getting out properly.

  4. Odours linger

    Cooking smells spread from the kitchen to other rooms and hang around, and in an apartment block you may smell your neighbours’ cooking.

  5. Condensation on windows

    Condensation on the windows and mould in the corners can point to excess humidity or poor ventilation.

  6. It’s been years

    The ducts haven’t been cleaned for years, or you’ve recently renovated — construction dust settles in the ducts.

What we do

What the cleaning includes

The scope depends on the type of ventilation you have. Before we start, we agree on exactly what will be done.

  • Cleaning of supply and extract valves
  • Ventilation duct cleaning
  • Cleaning of the ventilation unit: fans, heat exchanger and condensate drain
  • Filter replacement
  • Cleaning of the cooker hood duct

We clean the shared shafts of apartment buildings when the apartment association (KÜ) orders it.

More about pricing

  1. Type of ventilation

    Natural ventilation, mechanical extract or a heat recovery unit.

  2. Scope of work

    How many valves and ducts there are, and whether the unit needs cleaning and the filters replacing.

  3. Access

    Ducts in the attic, between floors or behind a suspended ceiling take more time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

All questions and answers

How often should ventilation be cleaned?

For homes, a common rule of thumb is to clean the ducts roughly every 5–10 years (depending on their condition), service a heat recovery unit once a year and replace the filters at least twice a year. Check your unit’s manual for exact intervals.

If you notice dust around the valves, weak extraction, damp or lingering odours, don’t wait. Commercial premises and spaces with heavier use usually need cleaning more often.

Does cleaning make a mess?

We cover furniture and floors and tidy up after ourselves when we’re done.

Do you clean heat recovery units too?

Yes. We clean the fans, heat exchanger and condensate drain, and replace the filters — we bring them for any unit model. More: heat recovery unit service.

Does the apartment association need to approve the cleaning?

You usually don’t need the association’s permission to clean your own apartment’s valves, ducts and unit. The building’s shared shafts and roof fans are managed by the association, and their cleaning is agreed with it.
