How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. For a village or hamlet like Little Chart, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- 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 where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Chart
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. We are often asked to deal with ductwork with too few access panels to clean and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, across hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and general extract ductwork.
Work in a small place like Little Chart starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Ventilation duct cleaning around Little Chart
Food Standards Agency data includes about 4 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Little Chart. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 44 miles out from central London, Little Chart is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
In Little Chart, supply and extract ducts are cleaned along with the units that serve them.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Little Chart questions
Will you come out to Little Chart?
Yes, Little Chart is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Little Chart be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Little Chart doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. We can install panels to open those sections up.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
When to call us in Little Chart
It matters for the people inside: 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.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Systems missing access panels
- Blocked general extract ductwork
Around Little Chart, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
