Part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Corringham
Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. We’re often asked to deal with ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and ducts that need a clean before handover, across supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Visits to a place like Corringham are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Ventilation in Corringham buildings
There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Corringham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 24 miles out from central London, Corringham is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Basildon University Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.5 miles north of Corringham. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Basildon University Hospital (about 2.5 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Across Thurrock, we cover 26 places, Corringham among them. For sites nearby, see our Chelmsford page, about 15 miles away.
We work across SS17 for ventilation duct cleaning and the streets around it. Ventilation duct cleaning is available to premises on Park Road, Herd Lane and Mill Lane and nearby roads. Corringham is on the A1014, so it’s easy for us to get to for ventilation duct cleaning.

Why deal with it now?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. Around Corringham, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we are called out for in Corringham
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Ortu Corringham Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Log every filter change
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. For a place like Corringham, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Common questions in Corringham
Can you work in Corringham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Corringham can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Corringham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Corringham is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. We can fit new access panels so the whole system can be cleaned.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
