Questions from Portmore
Do you cover smaller places like Portmore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Portmore included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Portmore be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Portmore keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. Access panels can be added where needed.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Portmore
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. Common call-outs are for dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, on toilet extract systems, general extract ductwork and hospitals and care homes.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Part by part
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and it’s cleaned out through access panels.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Portmore can be planned properly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
