What we do, step by step

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. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lower Dicker.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
  2. Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
  3. We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
  4. Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Advice

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Dicker

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, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you have dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and ducts that need a clean before handover, we can put it right.

For a building in or near Lower Dicker, 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.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Lower Dicker

Can you come to Lower Dicker after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lower Dicker keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you clean school ventilation in Lower Dicker in the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lower Dicker. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?

Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Extra access panels can solve it, and we can quote for them.

What is TR19® Air?

TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.

Where does the waste go?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.

Which accreditations do you hold?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® itself is not 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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Lower Dicker?

Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, and it becomes harder to remove.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Supply ducts with years of dust inside
  • Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
  • Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
  • Stuffy rooms and stale air

Wherever a school like Hellingly Community Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
  • Whether VAT is included
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Whether the figure could change on the day

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What happens if it’s left?

Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Planning a trip to Lower Dicker ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What the work involves, part by part

Hospitals and care homes

Patients and residents may be more sensitive to dust in the air. Inspection-led cleaning under TR19® Air helps keep systems in good condition.

Extract ductwork

Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Report dust blowing from grilles right away
  • Log every filter change
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Keep to the inspection interval in your report

The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.

Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
