Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Salcott-cum-Virley
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, some of which ends up back in the rooms. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Common call-outs are for dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and poor airflow from the vents, on offices and schools, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Salcott-cum-Virley
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Full insurance on every job

Questions from Salcott-cum-Virley
Do you work overnight in Salcott-cum-Virley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Salcott-cum-Virley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Salcott-cum-Virley?

What information do you need?

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, with nobody in the classrooms.
When to call us in Salcott-cum-Virley
Ductwork is hidden above ceilings and in risers, so nobody sees the build-up. The grilles get a wipe, but what’s behind them doesn’t.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Around Salcott-cum-Virley, an air handling unit’s drain tray is checked for standing water as a matter of course.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Salcott-cum-Virley before we set off.
- 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.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Keep filters changed on time
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
