Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farmoor
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. Common call-outs are for rooms that feel airless when the system runs and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, on hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Farmoor
Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Look out for any of the following:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Farmoor, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Radcliffe Infirmary (about 3.7 miles east).

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Farmoor, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Farmoor
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Common questions in Farmoor
Can you clean school ventilation in Farmoor during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Farmoor, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Farmoor be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Farmoor keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Log every filter change
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
