About our ventilation duct cleaning in Hale Green
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. 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. Common call-outs are for stuffy rooms and stale air and damp or stale smells from grilles, on offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
In a village or hamlet like Hale Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hale Green.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Protect the system from construction dust
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

What else we do in Hale Green
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Hale Green questions
Do you work in villages like Hale Green?
Yes. Hale Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Hale Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Hale Green needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

Why act early in Hale Green
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hale Green is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Common problems we fix in Hale Green
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Wherever a school like Chiddingly Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
