Ventilation Cleaning
Ventilation cleaning is the process of removing dust and other built-up contamination from the ventilation system. The aim is to ensure that air moves through the system as intended and that the air people breathe does not pass through dirty ductwork.
Ventilation cleaning helps improve indoor air quality, overall comfort, and fire safety.
Ventilation cleaning does not include equipment servicing or system calibration. These are covered under a separate service: ventilation maintenance.
Aero Grupp provides ventilation cleaning services across Estonia. Our goal is to ensure that, after cleaning, dust and grease have been removed from the system and the indoor air quality has improved.

Why is ventilation cleaning important?
Ventilation cleaning becomes necessary when the system technically still exists, but air exchange no longer delivers normal results. Dirt builds up inside the ductwork over time and can begin to restrict airflow.
In apartment buildings, a major issue is that natural ventilation is inherently difficult to control. Its performance depends on wind conditions and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air, which means that even minor blockages in the ducts can lead to very different results from one day to the next.
Common signs that a ventilation system needs cleaning include poor or stuffy air, persistent odours, slow removal of humidity, and the feeling that the ventilation is running but no longer doing its job properly.
In apartment buildings, this may also show up as odours coming from neighbouring flats. In office buildings, schools, care homes, industrial facilities, and other properties, it often means the ventilation system is no longer delivering the required air exchange rates or indoor climate conditions.
Results you can notice immediately after cleaning
Proper ventilation cleaning delivers a clear and noticeable improvement, with results that can also be assessed through measurable indicators.
Better indoor air quality
When the ductwork is clean, the air people breathe moves through a more hygienic system. This is especially important in both residential and commercial buildings.
Improved airflow through the system
A ventilation system that has not been cleaned can gradually begin to restrict airflow. Cleaning helps restore the system’s actual performance capacity.
Less persistent odours and moisture
When the extract system works properly, odours and moisture do not linger. For many housing associations, this means fewer repeated complaints.
A clearer understanding of the system’s condition
During the cleaning process, it becomes clear whether any additional work is needed. The issues recorded in the cleaning report help the client make decisions based on facts.
Reduced fire risk
Contaminated grease ducts and ventilation ducts can contribute to the spread of fire. Cleaning helps reduce that risk.
A result that can be verified
Aero Grupp provides a cleaning report for the completed work and includes photos of the ventilation system before and after the cleaning.
Why trust Aero Grupp with ventilation cleaning?
Ventilation cleaning is not something that should be left to the cheapest option, because good indoor air quality is a basic necessity.
What matters here is experience, well-established working methods, and the ability to carry out the work in a way that causes as little disruption as possible to the people living in or using the building.
Aero Grupp has been providing ventilation services across Estonia for 17 years, with offices in both Tallinn and Tartu.
Over 17 years of experience in ventilation cleaning
We have been providing ventilation services for more than 17 years and understand which problems tend to repeat and how to solve them in a way that delivers lasting results.
4,600+ completed ventilation cleaning projects
We have carried out ventilation cleaning at more than 4,600 sites, giving us a very clear sense of what is normal and what requires closer attention.
We are part of the EVHA professional network
EVHA brings together specialists in ventilation hygiene and indoor air quality from across Europe and helps us stay up to date with best practices in ventilation hygiene.
A way of working that takes residents into account
We keep communication clear and carry out the work in a way that respects privacy and cleanliness. This helps reduce disruption and keeps the whole process running more smoothly.
What is most important to us in the ventilation cleaning process?
A good enquiry should clearly state whether the supply ductwork, extract ductwork, and air handling unit components need to be cleaned, and whether fire damper inspection or any additional work is also required.
What matters in ventilation cleaning
A thorough and well-defined scope of work
The first step is to determine exactly what needs to be cleaned. Wherever possible, Aero Grupp recommends preparing the system documentation and drawings in advance, and in many cases it makes sense to begin with a site visit.
A clear plan and proper coordination
We prepare a clear work schedule and carry out the job in a way that does not turn the premises into a construction site unnecessarily. This is not a side issue, but an important part of service quality.
In apartment buildings: clear and respectful communication with residents
This is the stage that many housing associations worry about most. We agree a clear work plan with the association and keep communication straightforward. Residents know in advance when we will arrive and how long the work in their flat will take.
Cleaning using the method best suited to the system
The cleaning itself is carried out using the method most appropriate for the system: mechanical cleaning, manual cleaning, compressed air for hard-to-reach areas, and where necessary, wet cleaning for heavier contamination. During mechanical cleaning, the loosened dirt is collected into negative pressure units fitted with filters so that it does not spread into the rooms.
Issuing a cleaning report
After the work is completed, a report is issued. It includes the scope of the cleaning, photos, and a description of any issues discovered during the work.

Answers to some common questions about ventilation cleaning
What is the difference between ventilation cleaning and ventilation maintenance?
Cleaning removes dirt from the ductwork and other system components. Maintenance focuses on the technical operation of the equipment, including filters, settings, and the prevention of possible faults.
How often should ventilation be cleaned?
This depends on the type of system, its usage load, and how quickly contamination builds up. In a heavily used system, significant dirt accumulation can develop within as little as 1 to 3 years.
Does ventilation cleaning create a lot of dust?
When the work is done properly, the dirt is collected into negative pressure units fitted with filters so that it does not spread into the rooms. Proper working methods are just as important here as the cleaning itself.
Can cleaning solve odour transfer between flats?
If the problem is caused by restricted airflow due to dirt build-up, cleaning may help. If the cause lies in the system balance or technical design, then an inspection and possibly additional work will also be needed.
What has the biggest impact on the cost of ventilation cleaning?
and whether only the extract side needs cleaning or the supply side and air handling unit as well. Quotes can be made much more accurate when drawings and a clear scope of work are available.
