Boyden Gate: your questions answered
Can you come to Boyden Gate after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Boyden Gate?
Yes, Boyden Gate is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Expect it to take a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Boyden Gate
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Common call-outs are for stuffy rooms and stale air and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, on toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Somewhere as small as Boyden Gate, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
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 does not slip.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
Leave it or put it right?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Boyden Gate rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Boyden Gate are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
