What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive 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 any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Bloodden, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Bloodden, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. We are often asked to deal with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and damp or stale smells from grilles, across supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and grilles and diffusers.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business

Bloodden: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Bloodden?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bloodden included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Bloodden outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Bloodden can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and photos. It also notes unreached sections and a recommended next inspection.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Busy or sensitive buildings may need it more often.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Expect it to take from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Bloodden?
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
For workplaces around Adisham station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
