How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Cobham
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. Common call-outs are for stuffy rooms and stale air and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, on hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems.
Visits to a place like Cobham are fitted around opening hours. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Cobham questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Cobham in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Cobham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Cobham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cobham needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes, always. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: 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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Around Cobham, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. A site near Cobham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Cobham
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Ventilation in Cobham buildings
There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities and about 10 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Cobham. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 17 miles out from central London, Cobham is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Cobham’s nearest hospital, No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, is about 3.9 miles north. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Healthcare buildings such as No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, about 3.9 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Cobham, yours matters too.

Local landmarks in Cobham

Common problems we fix in Cobham
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
Wherever a school like St Andrew's CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
