Ventilation duct cleaning in Cobham
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you have blocked general extract ductwork and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can help, from grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes onwards.
Somewhere as small as Cobham, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Cobham: your questions answered
Can you come to Cobham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Cobham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school’s ventilation in Cobham be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Cobham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
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.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, together with the ductwork. You’ll see them in the before and after pictures.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, and then quote a fixed price.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead

- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail, we often work evenings, overnight or at weekends so staff and customers are not disturbed.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Cobham knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Related advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
