Vent, grille and fan dust removal after construction in Tokyo
Surface cleaning of vents, grilles, diffusers and fan covers once the building work is done. No duct cleaning.
Where the dust goes after construction
Cutting boards, sanding plaster and drilling concrete throw dust high into the air. Part of it falls to the floor, and part lands on ceilings, light fittings, cabinet tops and the face of every vent. When the air conditioning or the extractor fan starts, the dust on a grille is the first thing to move. A room that was cleaned thoroughly can look dirty again within a few minutes of the system starting. Cleaning the vents belongs near the end of a handover for exactly this reason.
What we clean: the visible parts
We clean ceiling and wall grilles, supply and return air covers, linear diffusers, round and square diffusers, extractor-fan covers in kitchens and bathrooms, bathroom ventilation grilles and toilet vent covers. Where a cover can be removed by hand without tools and without touching wiring, we take it off, wipe both sides, clean the frame behind it, and put it back. Where it cannot be removed safely, we wipe what is reachable and say so in the report.
What we do not do
We do not clean inside ducts, air-handling units, fan coil units, filters of a ducted system or the inside of any machine. We do not dismantle equipment, open electrical panels or adjust airflow. Duct cleaning needs specialist equipment and qualified people, and the right way to arrange it is through the contractor who installed the system. If a job needs it, we tell you instead of guessing.
Kitchen and bathroom extractors
Kitchen hoods and bathroom fans collect the heaviest dust because they sit near the work. We wipe the hood canopy and the visible grille in a kitchen, and the cover of a bathroom or toilet fan. If a fan cover has a removable filter pad, we check whether it is clean and tell you if the pad needs replacing, since a new pad is something the owner or installer supplies.
Why dust on a vent matters beyond looks
A vent covered with building dust looks unfinished, but it also draws complaints. An inspector will run a finger over a grille. A tenant will notice grey marks on the ceiling around a diffuser as soon as the system runs. Cleaning these surfaces before the air starts moving is a small piece of work that prevents the first call to the contractor after handover.
High ceilings and hard-to-reach covers
Many offices and shops have ceiling diffusers above a lot of fittings. We use stable steps and extension tools to reach them without leaning on shelves or fixtures. Where the height needs scaffolding, a tower or a lift, or where the access is unsafe, we do not improvise: we tell you before the visit so that you can arrange the right access or leave those items for later.
Planning with the electricians and air conditioning installers
The best moment for vent cleaning is after the ceiling and fixtures are complete and before the final room clean. If the air-conditioning installer still has work to do, we recommend waiting, as fresh dust will fall again. Tell us who is still on site and we plan the order with you by message, so that the vents are cleaned once and stay clean.
Filters, covers and what to tell the owner
After a fit-out, some air systems still have their temporary filters or construction covers in place. We do not replace or remove filters inside equipment, but we do note in the report where temporary media or taped openings are visible, so that the installer can deal with them before the system is handed over. This small note often saves an owner from running a system that is still protected for the building phase.
Shops, clinics and offices that must open on time
For a business with an opening date, a dusty vent is a visible flaw on the first day of trading. We schedule vent cleaning close to the end of the fit-out, then leave the floor and the glass for the final pass. Where the premises must be handed over outside business hours, we agree out-of-hours work by message beforehand and confirm the plan on the same thread.
Price and how a job is scoped
Vent and fan dust removal is quoted per project at a fixed price, from plans, floor area, photos or a site look, before the work. The number and height of the vents matters most, so send photos of the ceilings, a count of the covers if you have it, and tell us whether the job stands alone or belongs to a full handover clean. The price is confirmed by message before the visit.
After the visit, and where we work
You receive a photo report that shows the covers before and after, and notes any cover we could not reach or remove. If something was missed and reported within 24 hours with a photo, we clean it again at no extra cost. Standard visits are 9:00 to 17:00, with out-of-hours work by agreement. We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, with travel cost stated before booking outside the 23 wards.
