Ventilation duct cleaning in Keycol
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed.
Work in a small place like Keycol starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Keycol
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
Ventilation work in and around Keycol is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

FAQs for Keycol
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Keycol in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Keycol. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you cover smaller places like Keycol?
Yes, Keycol is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. 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.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, whenever daytime working isn’t practical. Tell us when the system can be switched off and we’ll plan to that.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then refitted.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Keycol run smoothly.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
