Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chartway Street
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are ductwork with too few access panels to clean and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection.
Work in a small place like Chartway Street starts with agreeing access and timings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. For a village or hamlet like Chartway Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually 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?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common questions in Chartway Street
Do you clean school ventilation in Chartway Street in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Chartway Street. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Chartway Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Chartway Street can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if parts of the ductwork can’t be reached?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can fit them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first to see where cleaning is needed.
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Chartway Street
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Chartway Street can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
If you manage a school such as Kingswood Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
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, you get a fixed price before work begins.
