Carlton is grand Victorian terraces, student rentals and cafes packed beside the university, and the ducted systems get hard, mixed use. FreshDuct cleans the whole system — ducts, outlets, return-air and vents — for homes and small hospitality spaces alike.
Student rental changing hands? A duct clean resets the air the paint never touches.
Carlton is a dense, historic inner-city suburb — ornate Victorian terraces, university housing, apartment blocks and the cafes and restaurants of Lygon Street. Ducted heating and cooling serve many of the homes and small hospitality spaces, and near the university a lot of them are long-term rentals.
Ducts in frequently-tenanted Carlton homes rarely get cleaned between occupants, so they accumulate years of dust, hair and grime that every new household then breathes. A whole-of-system clean of the supply ducts, outlets and return-air is the reset that a quick repaint between tenancies never provides.
The things we look at first in Carlton homes and businesses — based on the local building stock, duct types and conditions.
Carlton’s student and rental turnover means ducts are rarely cleaned between households. We clean the whole system so incoming tenants inherit clean air.
Lygon Street and its side streets are full of small food spaces. We clean their ducts and ventilation around trading hours, with documentation for compliance.
A never-cleaned return-air and filter recirculates the dust of many past occupants. We clean and clear both as the core of the job.
Real before-and-after photos from FreshDuct duct cleaning — supply ducts, floor and ceiling outlets, return-air and vents. We document every job so you can see exactly what came out.



One local team for the whole system — heating ducts, cooling ducts, return-air, vents and the units that feed them, for homes and small businesses.

A Carlton terrace or apartment that has housed many tenants usually has ducts nobody has ever cleaned. We seal the system, run negative-air and vacuum equipment, and brush the supply ducts so the accumulated dust is drawn out, not circulated.
We clean the heating and cooling ducts, the outlets and the return-air and filter, and for hospitality spaces we clean the ventilation too. Everything is cameraed and photographed so owners, managers or landlords have a clear record.
FreshDuct cleans ducts across Carlton and the inner city 7 days a week, and we work constantly in nearby Fitzroy, Brunswick, Richmond and Northcote, so a Carlton job fits easily into our schedule.
From the terraces around Carlton Gardens to the student housing and cafes near the university, we clean whole-of-home ducted systems and small commercial ventilation, and can coordinate access for rentals.
A thorough, documented whole-of-system clean — every duct, outlet and return checked, cleaned and photographed before and after.
We check the whole ducted system — supply ducts, return-air and outlets — and camera the ducts so you can see what is actually in there.
We isolate the system and connect powerful negative-air and vacuum equipment so dislodged dust is pulled out, not blown around your home.
Brushes and compressed-air tools loosen the dust, debris and lint packed into the supply ducts, and it is drawn straight into the vacuum.
The return-air grille, filter and every supply outlet are cleaned — the parts that pull in and recirculate household dust and allergens.
An optional anti-microbial treatment is fogged through the cleaned ducts to knock back mould, bacteria and stale odours.
A clear report with before-and-after photos of your ducts, plus honest advice on any damaged, disconnected or leaking ductwork.
