Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Tilbury
Ductwork is reached through access panels along each run. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. The work covers general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection.
Smaller buildings around East Tilbury often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in East Tilbury
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Systems missing access panels
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
School buildings such as East Tilbury Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like East Tilbury, so let us know how to reach it.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Common questions in East Tilbury
Do you work overnight in East Tilbury?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in East Tilbury needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like East Tilbury?
Yes. East Tilbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. East Tilbury, about 22 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. East Tilbury’s nearest hospital, Orsett Hospital, is about 3 miles north-west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
For workplaces around East Tilbury station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Why it’s worth doing now in East Tilbury

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
