Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hawley
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and odours carried round the building by the ducts.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. In a small place like Hawley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Hawley
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why

Common questions in Hawley
Do you work overnight in Hawley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Hawley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Hawley in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hawley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 11 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after each visit.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. They show up in the photo report before and after.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.
