About our ventilation duct cleaning in Sandon
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. If you are dealing with toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and damp or stale smells from grilles, we can help, from grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and hospitals and care homes onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Sandon, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Sandon: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Sandon?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Sandon?
Yes, Sandon is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The survey gives us a clearer idea, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or email us to arrange it.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Part by part
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, which makes dirt stick. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Sandon buildings and their air
There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities and about 6 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Sandon and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Baddow Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1 mile south-west of Sandon. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. We cover Sandon, about 30 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Wherever a school like The Sandon School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.

Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
Why it’s worth doing now in Sandon
If a building in Sandon has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

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 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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
