Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hethe
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections cannot be reached, the report says so, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. If you are dealing with toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, we can help.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Hethe
Is Hethe in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Hethe included. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details of the site.
Can you get to a site in Hethe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. We fit the work around when the building is in use. Holidays suit schools, and evenings or weekends suit offices.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. Access panels can be added where needed.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then refitted.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hethe
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Stick to the filter change schedule
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What we’re called out for in Hethe
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
Healthcare buildings such as Bicester Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Hethe, yours matters too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
