Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bearton
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Bearton and right across Hertfordshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers offices and schools, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about supply ducts with years of dust inside and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.
For a building near Bearton, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A site near Bearton normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- 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.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Building management settings that run the plant
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early in Bearton
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

FAQs for Bearton
Do you clean school ventilation in Bearton in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 16 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bearton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Bearton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Bearton can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it doesn’t slip.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
