Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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.
What affects the quote in Iford
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What else we do in Iford
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Iford: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Iford?
Yes, Iford is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school ventilation in Iford in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Iford. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from pictures, drawings or a site visit, then we give you a fixed quote.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes, along with the ducts behind them. You’ll see them in the before and after photos.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Somewhere like Iford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Log every filter change
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

What we are called out for in Iford
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
If you manage a school such as Iford and Kingston Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
