Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Coleman's Hatch, done properly
A dusty duct in a building in Coleman's Hatch is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about damp or stale smells from grilles and poor airflow from the vents.
Work in a small place like Coleman's Hatch starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Coleman's Hatch
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Systems missing access panels
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Ventilation work in and around Coleman's Hatch is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Coleman's Hatch can be planned properly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Coleman's Hatch: your questions answered
Will you come out to Coleman's Hatch?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Coleman's Hatch is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Coleman's Hatch?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Coleman's Hatch does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What is TR19® Air?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. TR19® Air takes an inspection-led, risk-based approach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Queen Victoria Hospital (about 4.4 miles north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

A little further out are Queen Victoria Hospital (4.4 miles north-west) and Bolebroke Castle (2.9 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Brickfield Meadow.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Design problems with the ductwork layout
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
