About our ventilation duct cleaning in Barnes Cray
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are blocked general extract ductwork and ventilation full of debris from building work.
Smaller buildings around Barnes Cray often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Barnes Cray when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Why deal with it now?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Barnes Cray at a time that suits you.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Barnes Cray
Can a school’s ventilation in Barnes Cray be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Barnes Cray, the Food Standards Agency lists about 22 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Barnes Cray?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. The work is planned around the building’s hours. Holidays suit schools, and evenings or weekends suit offices.
