Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chelwood Common
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you have systems missing access panels and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, we can help, from general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Chelwood Common, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Chelwood Common questions
Do you work in villages like Chelwood Common?
Yes. Chelwood Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Chelwood Common outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can fit them.
What happens if it’s left?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- We diagnose before we treat
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Visits to a village like Chelwood Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
