Ventilation duct cleaning in Grafty Green
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, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. We are often asked to deal with ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and stuffy rooms and stale air, on general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools.
Somewhere as small as Grafty Green, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Leaking or broken duct sections

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
FAQs for Grafty Green
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Grafty Green?
Yes, Grafty Green is covered. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few photos of the system.
Can the work in Grafty Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Grafty Green can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What if there are not enough access panels?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Grafty Green.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
