Subiaco’s Federation cottages and workers’ terraces were never built for ducted air — it was added later, usually into a roof space with barely enough room to crawl. FreshDuct cleans, repairs and services those systems properly.
Ducted system retrofitted into a character cottage? The runs are usually longer and dustier than you think.
Subiaco is one of the tightest pieces of period housing stock in Perth: Federation and late-Victorian cottages on narrow lots, brick-and-iron terraces on the streets running off Rokeby and Hay, and a heritage precinct where the streetscape has been deliberately protected. Newer apartment stock has filled in around the old Subiaco Oval and station lands, but the bulk of the suburb is still houses that predate mechanical cooling by decades.
That shapes every job here. There is no original ducting, so whatever is installed went in as a retrofit, often into a roof cavity with a low pitch and a rafter layout that fights you. Flex gets crushed against timbers, branches pull off collars, and the whole run sits in a dusty cavity that nobody has been into since the installers left. Rear extensions add a second complication, with ducting hidden above bulkheads and plaster that a homeowner will not thank you for cutting.
FreshDuct approaches these homes carefully. We camera the runs to find the crushed and disconnected sections rather than assuming where the airflow went, clean the ducts, returns and vents back properly, and repair or replace only the sections genuinely costing you comfort. Access is planned before we start, decorative plaster and cornices stay untouched, and every job comes back with before and after photos.
The things we look at first in a Subiaco home — based on the local housing, climate and systems people actually run.
A Federation cottage roof space is cramped and full of timbers. Retrofitted flex gets crushed, kinked and pulled off its collars in there, and the airflow loss is often blamed on the unit instead of the duct.
Period brick, timber floors and original ceilings are far less sealed than a modern build, so more dust is drawn into the system. Filters and return-air paths need attention more often than the manufacturer schedule suggests.
Rear additions hide ductwork above bulkheads with minimal access. We plan how we will reach the run before we quote, so cleaning a duct never turns into a plastering bill.

When ducting was added to a hundred-year-old cottage, somebody made compromises to get it in. Our job is to find them: the flex crushed against a chimney breast, the branch that came adrift above a bedroom, the return that was never sized for the rooms it feeds.
We camera first, quote against what we actually found, and repair only what is genuinely costing you comfort or air quality — then hand you the photographs.

No. We work through the existing vents and access points using drop sheets and contained equipment, and we never cut new access into decorative plaster or original cornice without agreeing it with you first. Protecting period ceilings is part of doing the job properly.
Sometimes, but in a retrofitted cottage a crushed or disconnected run is more likely than a blockage. Flex gets pinched against rafters or pulls off a collar and the conditioned air simply empties into the roof space. A camera inspection settles it in minutes rather than guessing.
