Part by part
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Caldecote
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked general extract ductwork and ventilation full of debris from building work.
Somewhere as small as Caldecote, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Caldecote
Do you cover smaller places like Caldecote?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Caldecote is part of that. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, where the building needs it. We agree a window when the ventilation can go off.
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 in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. About 3 miles south-west of Caldecote is Fairfield Hospital, the nearest hospital.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Why it’s worth doing now in Caldecote
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. In a small place like Caldecote, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Caldecote can be planned properly.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Stick to the filter change schedule
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after pictures. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
