Ventilation duct cleaning in Ardleigh Heath
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Common call-outs are for ducts that need a clean before handover and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, on general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

- Leaking or broken duct sections
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air

Questions from Ardleigh Heath
Can you clean school ventilation in Ardleigh Heath during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ardleigh Heath. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.

Typically, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, and we’ll confirm the plan when we quote.

What else we do in Ardleigh Heath
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ardleigh Heath
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Log every filter change
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
