How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Great Bentley
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. We are often asked to deal with blocked general extract ductwork and systems missing access panels, on grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
Around a place like Great Bentley, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Dealing with them now stops them getting worse. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

Common questions in Great Bentley
Do you work at weekends in Great Bentley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Great Bentley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. We can fit new access panels so the whole system can be cleaned.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
