About our ventilation duct cleaning in Great Notley

When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you’re dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, we can help, from hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems onwards.

In a smaller place like Great Notley, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Aftercare tips

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
  • Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
  • Flag any dust coming out of the vents
  • Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles

The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after photos. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.

Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

Great Notley: your questions answered

Can you get to a site in Great Notley?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Great Notley is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Can you work in Great Notley outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Great Notley keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?

Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. We can install panels to open those sections up.

What accreditations do you have?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.

How far ahead should we book?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Different parts, different methods

Grilles and diffusers

Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.

Hospitals and care homes

People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.

When something else is needed

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:

  • Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
  • Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
  • Design problems with the ductwork layout

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Offices and schools
  • Supply ductwork
  • Toilet extract systems
  • General extract ductwork
  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Hospitals and care homes

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Any previous report or certificate

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Great Notley

An inspection-led approach avoids cleaning ducts that do not need it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Great Notley than wait for a failure.

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

How it works

Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. In a place like Great Notley, we fit the visit around your hours.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
  2. We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
  3. The area below is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Ask for a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
