About our ventilation duct cleaning in Red Rice
A dusty duct in a building in Red Rice is more than an eyesore. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers general extract ductwork, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers.
Somewhere as small as Red Rice, ducted ventilation is typically 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Red Rice and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
When to call us in Red Rice
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them does not.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
For schools like Redrice School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.

What happens if it’s left?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. In a place like Red Rice, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Can ventilation in schools around Red Rice be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Red Rice. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Red Rice?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where necessary.
