  • Why do we do it?

    Many years of neglect leads to a build-up of dust, rubbish and other unwanted debris in the roof space. If there has been an animal or bird infestation, there will be a build up of old droppings, carcasses, nests etc. This, when it breaks down into dust, can create a serious health hazard. It is 100% logical to clean this out and then sanitize the roof space.

  • What can I expect at my premises when I order a ``ceiling vacuum``?

    Depending on the size of your house it will be a team of between 3 and 8 (or even more for a really big house) fully trained personnel. We will arrive at a time convenient to you – but we normally start at 07:30/08:00. An average sized house will take a team most of the day to complete. All our planning is to be on site for only one day.

  • Can you disinfect and sterilize my ceiling space?

    We have tested and now use a unique product that has been proven to kill 99.9% of known bacteria and fungi.

    It is a Hospital-grade disinfectant which we can apply in a very fine mist-spray to the roof cavity / ceiling area. This will settle on the ceiling boards and roof beams, and in the process will disinfect the entire roof space and remove all odours as well.

  • What does it cost?

    Prices vary according to the size of the house or building, and what services are ordered. Contact us for a quote.

  • What is ceiling vacuuming?

    Exactly what is says – we get into the roof space area between the tiles and ceiling – and then vacuum the ceiling.

    A team of between 3 and 10 staff will arrive at your premises – this depends on the size of your house – and will work in the roof space with extension cables, lights, vacuum cleaners and some other equipment in order to complete the job within a day.

  • How do we do it?

    We vacuum the ceiling using high-suction, industrial vacuum cleaners.
