Part by part
Hospitals and care homes

Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Gay Bowers
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Gay Bowers and right across Essex, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the quote in Gay Bowers
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.
Ventilation in Gay Bowers buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 6 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) in Gay Bowers and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Gay Bowers is Baddow Hospital, about 3.8 miles west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. About 33 miles out from central London, Gay Bowers is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Wherever a school like Priory Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Gay Bowers, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Gay Bowers?
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour moves more dust through the ducts. Heavier use means faster build-up.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Blocked general extract ductwork
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Baddow Hospital (about 3.8 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing

Questions from Gay Bowers
Do you work at weekends in Gay Bowers?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Gay Bowers needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can ventilation in schools around Gay Bowers be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Gay Bowers, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What is TR19® Air?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, then we give you a fixed quote.
