What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aldham
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Aldham and right across Essex, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about construction dust left in ducts after a refit and poor airflow from the vents.
In a village or hamlet like Aldham, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Aldham can be planned properly.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Common questions in Aldham
Can you get to a site in Aldham?
Yes, Aldham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Aldham after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from pictures and drawings, then we send you a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Building management settings that run the plant
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Toilet extract systems
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
