Ventilation duct cleaning in Great Braxted, done properly
A dusty duct in a building in Great Braxted is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. We are often asked to deal with ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, across grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Questions from Great Braxted
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Great Braxted?
Yes, Great Braxted is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Can you come to Great Braxted after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Braxted needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
It takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Great Braxted.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
