About our ventilation duct cleaning in Great Chart
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are odours carried round the building by the ducts and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
For a building in or near Great Chart, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?
Where a building in Great Chart serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. In a small place like Great Chart, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management settings that run the plant
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Dust that slips past the filters builds up inside, and we remove it through access panels.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
FAQs for Great Chart
Will you come out to Great Chart?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Great Chart is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can ventilation in schools around Great Chart be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Great Chart. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
