About our ventilation duct cleaning in Copford
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. We’re often asked to deal with musty smells from the ventilation and systems missing access panels, across offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes.
In a village or hamlet like Copford, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Copford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Copford questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Copford in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Copford. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is Copford within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Copford included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, then we send you a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What does TR19 Air cover?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote

- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Log every filter change
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it does not slip.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 can quote for the whole system.
