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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
Derringstone questions
Can ventilation in schools around Derringstone be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Derringstone, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Derringstone?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Derringstone included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so the whole system can be cleaned.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. For a village or hamlet like Derringstone, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
