How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Boreham
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork, and people most often call us about ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed.
In a smaller place like Boreham, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Boreham and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In a smaller place like Boreham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

When to call us in Boreham
It matters for the people inside: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Boreham, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Priory Hospital (about 2.6 miles south-west).

Boreham: your questions answered
Can the work in Boreham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Boreham keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Boreham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Boreham included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
As a guide, it 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, to fit around the building.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
