About our ventilation duct cleaning in Braughing
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. If you’re dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Braughing
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. Heavier use means faster build-up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
For schools like Jenyns First School and Nursery, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What affects the quote in Braughing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need ventilation duct cleaning in Braughing, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep filters changed on time
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

Other services in Braughing
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Braughing.
- 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.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Braughing: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Braughing be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Braughing. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Can the work in Braughing be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Braughing needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Work on site takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The survey gives us a clearer idea, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to arrange it.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
