What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Sandown
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. If you have ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right, from grilles and diffusers, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems onwards.
Visits to a place like Sandown are fitted around opening hours. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Sandown: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Sandown?
Yes, Sandown is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean school ventilation in Sandown in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sandown, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Removable grilles come down for cleaning and go back up. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.

- 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 photos and send the certificate and report.

Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Grilles and diffusers
Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then refitted.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
