FAQs for Greensted
Can you work in Greensted outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you clean school ventilation in Greensted in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Greensted. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can quote for them.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does TR19 Air cover?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
Expect it to take anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Greensted, done properly
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. 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. The work covers grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
Somewhere as small as Greensted, ducted ventilation is typically 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us.

Ventilation in Greensted buildings
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Greensted, up to about a mile and a half out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 20 miles out from central London, Greensted is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. St. Margaret's Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 4.4 miles west of Greensted. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Hospitals such as St. Margaret's Hospital (about 4.4 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Greensted are no different. School buildings such as Chipping Ongar Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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 is where we come in.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
