Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Alvescot
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. If you have extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and systems missing access panels, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Alvescot, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.
When to call us in Alvescot
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
Longworth Hospital, about 5.4 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Alvescot, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Alvescot knowing what to expect.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What else we do in Alvescot
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.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Ventilation duct cleaning around Alvescot
Alvescot’s nearest hospital, Longworth Hospital, is about 5.4 miles south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

Common questions in Alvescot
Do you cover smaller places like Alvescot?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Alvescot?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Alvescot does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
The clean takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We’ll know more after the survey, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us to arrange it.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Leave it or put it right?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
