Ventilation duct cleaning in Marks Tey, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you have blocked general extract ductwork and stuffy rooms and stale air, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Marks Tey, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers that are designed to come out are removed for cleaning, then put back.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Somewhere as small as Marks Tey, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Marks Tey
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Marks Tey?
Yes, Marks Tey is covered. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you work in villages like Marks Tey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean without closing the building?
Yes. We fit the work around when the building is in use. Schools are often done in the holidays and offices out of hours.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. The survey gives us a clearer idea, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to arrange it.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
