Even a site near Elmstead Market that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Elmstead Market, done properly
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers offices and schools, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and damp or stale smells from grilles.
In a smaller place like Elmstead Market, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Elmstead Market
Do you cover smaller places like Elmstead Market?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Elmstead Market included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Elmstead Market?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: 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 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Elmstead Market, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Log every filter change
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
