Questions from Chartwell Green
Can ventilation in schools around Chartwell Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Chartwell Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 20 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Chartwell Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Chartwell Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Chartwell Green
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. If you’re dealing with dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, we can help.
For a building near Chartwell Green, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, with nobody in the classrooms.
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. 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. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Ventilation duct cleaning around Chartwell Green
Food Standards Agency data includes about 20 schools, colleges and universities and about 24 care, childcare and hospital premises within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chartwell Green. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Moorgreen Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.2 miles east of Chartwell Green. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Healthcare buildings such as Moorgreen Hospital, about 1.2 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Chartwell Green, yours matters too.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Problems with how the system is controlled
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep filters changed on time
- Watch for water stains around grilles
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Chartwell Green can usually be finished without a second trip.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When to call us in Chartwell Green
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Wherever a school like Townhill Infant School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
