Common questions in Plaish
Do you work in villages like Plaish?
Yes. Plaish is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Plaish?
Yes, Plaish is covered. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us what needs doing.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Plaish
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. The work covers toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and common reasons people get in touch are odours carried round the building by the ducts and systems missing access panels.
Somewhere as small as Plaish, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Log every filter change
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Put it in the diary now so it isn’t missed.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the quote in Plaish
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Plaish.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
