How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Chorleywood West and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Chorleywood West
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Chorleywood West and right across Hertfordshire, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. Typical jobs include stuffy rooms and stale air and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
Somewhere as small as Chorleywood West, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Chorleywood West is about 20 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

What affects the quote in Chorleywood West
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
If a building in Chorleywood West has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. A planned visit to Chorleywood West is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Chorleywood West?
It matters for the people inside: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
Workplaces around Rickmansworth station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

Chorleywood West: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Chorleywood West be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 21 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Chorleywood West. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Chorleywood West outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Chorleywood West keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
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.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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 won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Keep filters changed on time
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it doesn’t slip.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
