About our ventilation duct cleaning in Palm Bay
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, so you have it all on record. The work covers toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are construction dust left in ducts after a refit and damp or stale smells from grilles.
For a building in or near Palm Bay, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Palm Bay
Do you cover smaller places like Palm Bay?
Yes. Palm Bay is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Palm Bay after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Palm Bay can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Palm Bay
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What ventilation duct cleaning looks like in Palm Bay
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 7 schools, colleges and universities, about 25 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 9 hotels and B&Bs with registered kitchens or food service in and around Palm Bay, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 1.4 miles south-west of Palm Bay is Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Healthcare buildings such as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Palm Bay, yours matters too.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it doesn’t slip.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
What we are called out for in Palm Bay
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Wherever a school like Palm Bay Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
