Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rudmore
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels for the next clean. If you are dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems onwards.
Around a place like Rudmore, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.

What affects the quote in Rudmore
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Rudmore.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- 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 pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Questions from Rudmore
Do you work at weekends in Rudmore?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Rudmore needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can a school’s ventilation in Rudmore be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 31 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Rudmore. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, then we send you a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you cover Rudmore?
Yes. Rudmore is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Rudmore?
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
Hospitals such as Royal Portsmouth Hospital (about 0.9 miles south) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Rudmore are no different.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
