Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Saltwood
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes, and common reasons people get in touch are supply ducts with years of dust inside and rooms that feel airless when the system runs.
For a building in or near Saltwood, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
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
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
FAQs for Saltwood
Do you clean school ventilation in Saltwood in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Saltwood, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Saltwood after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
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.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Leaking or broken duct sections
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Problems with how the system is controlled
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
