- Ducts that need a clean before handover
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Cold Norton
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are systems missing access panels and stuffy rooms and stale air.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- File each ventilation report with the building records
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
When to call us in Cold Norton
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. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Poor airflow from the vents
For schools like Cold Norton Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Common questions in Cold Norton
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Cold Norton?
Yes, Cold Norton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details of the site.
Can you come to Cold Norton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Cold Norton needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes, together with the ductwork. They show up in the photo report before and after.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Hospitals and care homes

How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. In a small place like Cold Norton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
