Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hainault
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. The work covers offices and schools, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and ventilation full of debris from building work.
In a place like Hainault, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Hainault
Can ventilation in schools around Hainault be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 18 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hainault. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Hainault?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.
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 often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
When to call us in Hainault
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Systems missing access panels
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
School buildings such as Limes Farm Junior School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Proof of insurance
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
What happens if it’s left?
Where a building in Hainault 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. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
