Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Knapp
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and ducts that need a clean before handover.
For a building in or near Knapp, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Knapp
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Common problems we fix in Knapp
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
School buildings such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Why deal with it now?
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A planned visit to Knapp is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Knapp
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Knapp can be planned properly.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Knapp questions
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Knapp in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Knapp. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work overnight in Knapp?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Knapp can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. The rest are cleaned where they are.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, backed up by before and after photos. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
