Ventilation duct cleaning in Ingrave, done properly
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, across hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems.
Work in a small place like Ingrave starts with agreeing access and timings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Extract ductwork
Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. We plan access with the managing agent.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Ingrave
Can a school’s ventilation in Ingrave be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ingrave. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Ingrave within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ingrave is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with pictures of the inside. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t 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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ingrave.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Log every filter change
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
When to call us in Ingrave
Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
For schools like Brentwood County High School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
