About our ventilation duct cleaning in Cole End
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. If you’re dealing with stuffy rooms and stale air and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Cole End starts with agreeing access and timings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cole End rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
Want a quote for ventilation duct cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Hospitals and care homes
Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
Cole End: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Cole End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can ventilation in schools around Cole End be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Cole End. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can fit them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Cole End knowing what to expect.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

- Have your last certificate or report to hand
