Part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Heart's Delight
Do you clean school ventilation in Heart's Delight in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 16 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Heart's Delight, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Heart's Delight?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you work in Heart's Delight?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Heart's Delight.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

When to call us in Heart's Delight
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Poor airflow from the vents
Around Heart's Delight, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Heart's Delight.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
