How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Rush Green
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’re dealing with construction dust left in ducts after a refit and toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff, we can help, from toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Rush Green and across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
Where a building in Rush Green serves patients, residents or children, putting off ventilation cleaning is hard to justify. Good indoor air starts with a clean system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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 will explain each part.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run before deciding what to clean.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Rush Green
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:
- Systems missing access panels
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
Workplaces around Ware station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. In a small place like Rush Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Rush Green: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Rush Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Rush Green keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school’s ventilation in Rush Green be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 19 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Rush Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice should we give?
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.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
