How the job changes from site to site
Hospitals and care homes
Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Fobbing
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you are dealing with grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and stuffy rooms and stale air, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and offices and schools onwards.
For a building in or near Fobbing, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Fobbing
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
For schools like Ortu Corringham Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Problems with how the system is controlled
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Fobbing can be planned properly.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Fobbing
Can you clean school ventilation in Fobbing during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Fobbing. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Fobbing within the area you cover?

How long will the duct cleaning take?
Expect it to take from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What if there are not enough access panels?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where necessary.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep filters changed on time
- Protect the system from construction dust
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
