Overview
A clean ventilation system is a maintenance question, not a kitchen job
A ventilation system moves air through ducts, grilles and air handling units every day. Dust, fibres, pollen and filter residue accumulate along the way and eventually end up in the spaces where your people work, live, learn or recover.
Ventilation cleaning means mapping the airflow path of your building, assessing the contamination, cleaning the accessible components and documenting what was done. We work intake-first, so you know in advance what will and will not happen.
This page is entirely about ventilation and air handling installations. Grease ducts, extraction hoods and hospitality extraction fall outside this page and are covered by a separate service.
- The installation is the starting point, not a standard package
- Only agreed and technically accessible components are treated
- Photos and reporting make the work traceable
- Periodic maintenance avoids having to start over every time
Services
Ventilation cleaning is not the same as grease duct cleaning
Luchtreiniger Pro Horeca performs two different activities. They are often mixed up, but they involve a different contamination, a different technique and a different risk profile.
Hospitality extraction is about grease, fire and hot cooking processes. Ventilation cleaning is about dust, filters, air quality and how air handling performs inside a building. The technique, the planning and the reporting therefore differ.
Hospitality extraction and grease ducts
Cleaning of grease-carrying extraction systems in kitchens, with fire safety as the driver.
- Extraction hood, edges and kitchen filters
- Grease duct and extraction fan
- Grease buildup and fire risk
- Kitchens, restaurants, hotels and hospitality
Ventilation and air handling
Cleaning of non-grease ventilation and air handling installations inside buildings.
- Air ducts, grilles and valves
- Air handling unit and fan unit
- Dust, filters and airflow
- Offices, healthcare, schools, industry and public buildings
Not sure whether you are dealing with grease ducts or ventilation? Send a photo or a short description and we will help you work it out before anything is scheduled.
Services
What we do within ventilation cleaning
Not every building has the same installation and not every installation has the same contamination. The services below therefore act as a menu: after intake we agree together which components are actually in scope.
Components that cannot be reached safely or practically are named rather than silently skipped, so you know before and after what has been done.
Air duct cleaning
The duct is the air path of the building. Dust, fibres and filter residue settle on the underside and form a thick layer that restricts the airflow.
View the serviceCleaning grilles and valves
Grilles and diffusers are the visible side of the ventilation system. They catch most of the contamination but are rarely cleaned because it is usually an awkward job.
View the serviceCleaning fans and fan units
The fan is the heart of the air handling. A fan impeller covered in dust and fibres loses efficiency and runs harder, and you hear that in the noise level.
View the serviceCleaning mechanical ventilation systems
Mechanical ventilation consists of many small components that together form the system. Every contaminated component reduces the throughput of the whole.
View the serviceCleaning the air handling unit
The air handling unit is the central point of the installation. What happens here determines the air quality in all the rooms behind it.
View the serviceCleaning MVHR installations
An MVHR installation reuses air inside the home. That saves energy, but it also means dust and fibres usually circulate through the system several times before they are discharged.
View the serviceInspection and assessment of the ventilation installation
Sometimes cleaning is not yet the priority and a proper assessment is the first step. We show where the contamination is, what is reachable and what it costs to bring it in order.
View the serviceVentilation maintenance and maintenance plans
One large clean-up afterwards is more expensive and less effective than a fixed frequency. We align a maintenance plan with usage, occupancy and filter type.
View the serviceFilter inspection and filter replacement
Filters are the contamination-capturing layer of your installation. They fill up, then perform less well, and are then often replaced too late.

Who we clean ventilation for
The technical approach differs per building, the execution does not: assess first, agree second, then clean and report.
Ventilation cleaning for private homes
A home ventilation system runs all year. Dust and fibres stay behind in the ducts and around the valves, and you notice it in the air, the noise and the energy use.
Home owners and housing
- Homes, apartments and basements
- MVHR installations
- Remaining system lifetime
Ventilation cleaning for offices and businesses
In an office or business space the air handling is often central. One contaminated main duct ends up in every room, which is exactly why regular cleaning pays off.
Offices
- Central air handling
- Meeting and open-plan areas
- Operation during office hours
Businesses
- Production halls
- Logistics and loading areas
- Process-affected air
Shops and retail
- Counter and sales floor
- Daily operations
- Compact technical rooms
Ventilation cleaning for industry, factories and warehouses
In industrial buildings the air is often loaded with production, process or loading dust. That ends up in the ducts and the air handling, and the working position is regularly high up or inside a closed technical room.
Industry and warehouses
- Process and production air
- Older or complex installations
- Many high working positions
Ventilation cleaning for government and publicly accessible buildings
Public buildings have a formal maintenance regime and stay accessible during the work. That requires tight planning, a clear agreement with the manager and reporting that is directly usable.
Public and government buildings
- Public access and accessibility
- Fixed maintenance regime
- Clear reporting for facility management
Ventilation cleaning for healthcare environments and hospitals
In a healthcare environment ventilation is not a standalone job but part of a managed process with hygiene requirements, vulnerable users and strict access rules.
Healthcare environments
- Hygiene and cleaning protocols
- Vulnerable users
- Access rules agreed with the manager
Hospitals
- Technical assessment first
- Coordination with management and facility teams
- Execution within the agreed scope
Ventilation cleaning for data centres and server rooms
In a data centre air handling is part of a tightly managed process. Access, temperature and business continuity determine when work can happen and how.
Data centres
- Scope and planning agreed in advance
- Site protocols take the lead
- Execution after intake and site-specific review
Server rooms
- Access and escort arrangements
- Planning outside critical moments
- Limited maintenance window
Ventilation cleaning for schools, hotels and accommodation
In a school or hotel air enters daily with large numbers of people. The spaces are rarely cleaned at duct level, while the occupancy is at its highest.
Schools and universities
- High occupancy per square metre
- Classrooms, lecture halls and sports halls
- Holidays as a planning window
Hotels
- Guest areas and lobby
- Continuous occupancy
- Coordination with the operations team
Ventilation cleaning for HOAs, apartment buildings and other buildings
In an apartment complex or business building the air handling is usually shared. One contaminated branch ends up in every home or unit.
HOAs and apartment buildings
- Shared air ducts
- Collective maintenance plan
- Support from residents
Other buildings
- Mechanical ventilation and MVHR
- Scope defined per installation
- Also without a sector protocol

View categoryHow it works
From first request to maintenance advice
Five steps, no surprises. You always know what you are getting and what you can rely on.
- 01
Intake and request
You send photos or short videos and tell us which building, which system and what the question is. Think filters, visible contamination, a specific complaint or an upcoming maintenance moment.
- 02
Technical assessment
We assess the system type, accessibility, the extent of the contamination and the constraints of your building. In complex or sensitive environments this assessment always happens before execution.
- 03
Scope and price up front
You receive a concrete scope and a fixed price beforehand. What will and will not be done is recorded in writing, including components that cannot be reached or treated safely.
- 04
On-site execution
We schedule the work outside peak moments, protect the surroundings and work in the agreed order. The facility manager knows what is happening and when.
- 05
Reporting and maintenance
Afterwards you receive an overview of the work carried out, photo proof and advice on frequency, filters and any follow-up steps.
Field documentation
What the air path really looks like
These photographs show the air path as we encounter it in practice: dust, fibres and build-up on the components that contaminate the most. They are not intended as evidence of a specific assignment or location. Which components can actually be cleaned depends on accessibility and the agreed scope.
Installations
Installations and components we assess
Most professional buildings combine several components. During intake we map which components exist in your building, which are accessible and which fall within the agreed scope.
The list below shows what we commonly encounter. It does not mean every component is present in every job, or that every item is treated.
Air transport
- Round air ducts
- Rectangular air ducts
- Flexible ducts and connections
- Transitions and fittings
Supply and extract
- Supply and extract grilles
- Ceiling grilles and diffusers
- Valves and volume control
- Façade and wall grilles
Air handling
- Air handling unit (AHU)
- Ventilator units and fan housings
- Recirculation and mixing fans
- Rooftop indoor and outdoor units
Filters
- Bag filters and pre-filters
- Panel filters and fine filters
- Activated carbon filters
- Filter frames and holders
Technical spaces
- Technical shafts and ducts
- Ceiling voids and basements
- Rooftop installations and penetrations
- Access from roof or technical floor
Controls and adjacent systems
- Control and sensor technology
- VAV and volume control
- Dampers and fire dampers
- Assessed only, not adjusted without agreement
Control technology, sensors, electrical installations and fire dampers are assessed by us for accessibility and contamination, but are not adjusted or dismantled unless that is explicitly part of the agreed scope and has been aligned separately.
Sensitive sites
Data centres, hospitals and other critical environments
In a data centre, hospital, server room or laboratory, ventilation cleaning is rarely a standalone job. Air handling is part of a managed process with its own rules, its own security and its own planning.
We therefore never execute a standard cleaning. The situation is technically assessed first, and scope, working method and access conditions are aligned on site. Only then do we execute.
This page describes how we approach these environments. It is not a statement that we are qualified or approved for every critical environment. That is assessed per assignment.
- Technical assessment of installation and access before execution
- Scope, planning and access conditions agreed with the manager upfront
- Execution within the agreed scope and the agreed conditions
- Site protocols and access conditions aligned in advance
- Work scheduled outside critical operational moments
- Photo proof and reporting arrangements recorded upfront
- A runbook and a contact person named for the day of execution
What we do not promise
We do not guarantee specific certification, permits, accreditation or approval for hospitals, data centres, laboratories or other critical environments. Such requirements are mapped in advance; we deliver the cleaning and the reporting within the agreed scope.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about ventilation cleaning
Practical answers about scope, planning, price and what you can expect from us.
What is the difference between ventilation cleaning and grease duct cleaning?
Grease duct cleaning covers grease-carrying extraction systems in kitchens, driven by fire safety. Ventilation cleaning covers non-grease air and air handling installations in buildings, driven by dust, filters and airflow. We perform both, with a separate working method and a separate scope.
Which parts of my ventilation system get cleaned?
That depends on your installation and accessibility. In practice it involves ducts, grilles and valves, the air handling unit, ventilator units and the filter section. Only components that are agreed and technically accessible are in scope.
How do I know if my system needs cleaning?
Signals include visible dust on grilles, increased contamination around the filter unit, a musty smell, higher energy use, or a system that has not been cleaned for years. If you are unsure, send photos and we will assess whether cleaning is worthwhile and how much work it involves.
Do you replace filters as well?
Filter replacement is part of our services. During the assessment we review the filter situation and advise on type, condition and timing. Supply and fitting are aligned in advance with your installation.
How does the request and quote work?
You send photos and basic details, we assess the installation and accessibility, and we send you a concrete scope with a fixed price up front. You therefore know what you are paying for and what will happen.
Can you work while the building is in use?
Usually yes. For offices, shops and schools we schedule outside peak moments, for example in the evening, at weekends or during a holiday period. For business-critical or 24/7 environments we agree a suitable window.
What happens in a data centre, hospital or server room?
A stricter regime applies. We assess the situation technically first and agree scope, planning, access conditions and protocols with the manager upfront. Execution takes place after that assessment, within the agreed conditions.
Will I receive proof of the work carried out?
Yes. Afterwards you receive an overview of the work carried out, photo proof of the accessible components and, where needed, reporting that you can use in your own maintenance file.
How often should a ventilation system be cleaned?
That depends on usage, occupancy, dust load and filter type. A periodic maintenance plan prevents you from depending on one large clean-up. We align the frequency with your situation.
Can you set up a maintenance plan or subscription?
Yes. A maintenance plan provides fixed moments, agreed scope per visit and clear reporting. That makes budgeting easier and prevents maintenance from being postponed.
Which areas do you work in?
We work across the Netherlands. For larger assignments with multiple locations or a long-term relationship, we also discuss a maintenance programme with fixed visit moments.
