What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Criddlestyle
In a building in Criddlestyle, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. If you are dealing with extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and supply ductwork onwards.
Work in a small place like Criddlestyle starts with agreeing access and timings.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are all available, to keep the building open.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. We can install panels to open those sections up.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from pictures, drawings or a site visit, and then quote a fixed price.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Criddlestyle
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Criddlestyle, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- 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 pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Criddlestyle
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so dust collects unseen. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Systems missing access panels
School buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What hours they’ll be on site
What affects the quote in Criddlestyle
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. We usually come back within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Log every filter change
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it isn’t missed.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
