About our ventilation duct cleaning in Mistley
Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you have ductwork with too few access panels to clean and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Mistley, 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.
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.

- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Design problems with the ductwork layout

FAQs for Mistley
Can ventilation in schools around Mistley be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Mistley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Mistley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mistley included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, then we give you a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much 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 photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Mistley.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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, before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
When to call us in Mistley
Why does it matter?: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Blocked general extract ductwork
If you manage shops or offices close to Mistley station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What else we do in Mistley
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
