Leave it or put it right?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Breeds
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you have ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, we can help.
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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Breeds before we set off.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What affects the quote in Breeds
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us 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. We usually come back within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Breeds buildings and their air
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 7 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Breeds. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Breeds’s nearest hospital, Broomfield Hospital, is about 1.2 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. At about 31 miles from central London, Breeds sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare buildings such as Broomfield Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Breeds, yours matters too.

When to call us in Breeds
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
For schools like Chelmer Valley High School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
