From musty smells to increased energy bills, your ductwork might be telling you it’s overdue for cleaning.

Here are the 5 most common red flags we see across Chester and Shropshire:

1. Unpleasant odours – Grease and bacteria buildup in ducts create a constant smell
2. Loud extraction noise – Blocked filters and airflow issues stress your fans
3. Rising energy bills – Dirty systems work harder and burn more energy
4. Visible grease or fluff – Particularly in laundry ducts or canopies
5. Staff or customers coughing – Poor indoor air quality from unclean ventilation

Left unresolved, these issues increase fire risks, reduce lifespan of your equipment and can lead to failed inspections.
