Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cocking
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Common call-outs are for musty smells from the ventilation and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, across hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cocking
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Cocking: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Cocking?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is Cocking in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Cocking included. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. We can install panels to open those sections up.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so dust isn’t left at the outlets.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Cocking knowing what to expect.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then refitted.
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
What we’re called out for in Cocking
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.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Ventilation work in and around Cocking is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
