Ripple: your questions answered
Is Ripple in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Ripple is covered. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few pictures of the system.
Can you come to Ripple after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Ripple keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and pictures. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Ripple
Ductwork is reached through access panels at intervals along the system. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. The work covers grilles and diffusers, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are ducts that need a clean before handover and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
Work in a small place like Ripple starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters let dust straight back in.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Common problems we fix in Ripple
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal Victoria Hospital (about 5.5 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. In a small place like Ripple, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
