How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Chackmore can be planned properly.
- 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.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chackmore
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. We are often asked to deal with dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, on supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
Work in a small place like Chackmore starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The report is your 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.

Why act early in Chackmore
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. If the system at a site near Chackmore fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Chackmore
In a building in Chackmore, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Poor airflow from the vents
School buildings such as St James and St John CofE Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events and agree access with the site team.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.

Typically, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Large buildings can be phased, often out of hours, to fit around the building.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
