About our ventilation duct cleaning in Claygate
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. The work covers general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are musty smells from the ventilation and stuffy rooms and stale air.
Work in a small place like Claygate 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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Claygate knowing what to expect.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Questions from Claygate
Do you work in villages like Claygate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school ventilation in Claygate during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Claygate. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not 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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Why act early in Claygate
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Claygate
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Claygate, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
