Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Shalford
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are ducts that need a clean before handover and ductwork with too few access panels to clean.
Somewhere as small as East Shalford, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a small place like East Shalford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- 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.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What else we do in East Shalford
Common questions in East Shalford
Can you get to a site in East Shalford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Shalford is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can ventilation in schools around East Shalford be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 18 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of East Shalford, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach and record what we find. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Don’t let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Ventilation duct cleaning around East Shalford
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 18 schools, colleges and universities and about 9 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service in East Shalford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. We cover East Shalford, about 28 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. East Shalford’s nearest hospital, St. Luke’s Hospital, is about 1.3 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near East Shalford, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital (about 1.3 miles north). If you run an office near Shalford station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When to call us in East Shalford
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Systems missing access panels
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
School buildings such as Tillingbourne Junior School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
What happens if it’s left?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. In a small place like East Shalford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
