Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep filters changed on time
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Magdalen Laver
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Magdalen Laver and right across Essex, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and poor airflow from the vents.
Somewhere as small as Magdalen Laver, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and more of it finds its way back into the building. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Magdalen Laver rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- Photo reports with every job

Managing agents and facilities teams in Magdalen Laver
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Magdalen Laver and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
FAQs for Magdalen Laver
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Magdalen Laver?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Magdalen Laver included. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can you get to a site in Magdalen Laver?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Magdalen Laver included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
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.
