Ventilation duct cleaning in Little Ickford
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and odours carried round the building by the ducts.
For a building in or near Little Ickford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Little Ickford
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Little Ickford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Little Ickford is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Is Little Ickford within the area you cover?
Yes, Little Ickford is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What is TR19® Air?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep them in the maintenance log.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Little Ickford?
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
School buildings such as Ickford School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What to look for in a quote

How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Supply ducts carry air from the AHU into the rooms. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Toilet extract systems

Why act early in Little Ickford

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
