About our ventilation duct cleaning in Polstead Heath
A dusty duct in a building in Polstead Heath is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. The work covers toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stale smells from grilles and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers.
Somewhere as small as Polstead Heath, ducted ventilation is usually 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When to call us in Polstead Heath
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
For buildings in and around Polstead Heath, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow every clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Visits to a village like Polstead Heath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.

Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Different parts, different methods
