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.

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sewards End
A dusty duct in a building in Sewards End is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. A clean puts the system back as it should be. Typical jobs include ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on offices and schools, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork.
For a building in or near Sewards End, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. The work is sequenced with staff so care carries on.
Leave it or put it right?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Common questions in Sewards End
Can you clean school ventilation in Sewards End during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sewards End. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Sewards End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it isn’t missed.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as moisture makes dust stick.

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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
