How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Clavering
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and toilet extract systems, and common reasons people get in touch are rooms that feel airless when the system runs and ventilation full of debris from building work.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Clavering: local notes
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Clavering and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Clavering is about 34 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Keep filters changed on time
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after pictures. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Questions from Clavering
Can the work in Clavering be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Clavering can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Clavering?
Yes. Clavering 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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is there a survey before the work?
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 you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Clavering
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
School buildings such as Clavering Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork

- Offices and schools
What we do, step by step
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’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Clavering 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.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
