About our ventilation duct cleaning in Ruscote
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you are dealing with musty smells from the ventilation and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, we can put it right.
Visits to a place like Ruscote are fitted around opening hours. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Ruscote, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Ruscote
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, and it becomes harder to remove.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
School buildings such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT

Ruscote: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Ruscote in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ruscote. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Ruscote?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ruscote included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
