What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Building management settings that run the plant
  • Leaking or broken duct sections

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Margaretting

Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. Common call-outs are for dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers and construction dust left in ducts after a refit, on grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Margaretting

Is Margaretting in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?

Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Margaretting included. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.

Can you come to Margaretting after we close?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Margaretting can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.

Will you look at the ducts before quoting?

Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.

Leave it or put it right?

A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Leaving them means the plant works harder for the same result. Planning a trip to Margaretting ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Why us?

  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Full insurance on every job
  • Every visit written up, with photos

How it works

We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Margaretting.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. Access panels are opened along each run.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. We take after photos and send the certificate and report.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Between visits

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Protect the system from construction dust
  • Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends

Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.

TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

When to call us in Margaretting

Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. A building in Margaretting can have well-serviced plant and dirty ductwork at the same time.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • Poor airflow from the vents
  • Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
  • Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
  • Musty smells from the ventilation

Classrooms and halls at schools such as Anglo European School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What your quote should include

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • Whether the price is fixed

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • The condition of the system
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Any previous report or certificate

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
