How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Hillyfields
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, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. Typical jobs include ducts that need a clean before handover and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning, on grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork.
In a smaller place like Hillyfields, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Hillyfields: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Hillyfields?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hillyfields keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Hillyfields?
Yes, Hillyfields is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach and record what we find. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
Expect it to take from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. How much ductwork there is and how easily it’s reached decide the rest.
What else we do in Hillyfields
When to call us in Hillyfields
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Holy Family Catholic Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
