Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fickleshole
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. If you have blocked general extract ductwork and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can help, from general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Fickleshole, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
FAQs for Fickleshole
Is Fickleshole within the area you cover?
Yes. Fickleshole is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school ventilation in Fickleshole in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Fickleshole. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Fickleshole knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Stick to the filter change schedule
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 is not missed.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
