Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in Sherborne St John

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sherborne St John

Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. If you have musty smells from the ventilation and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, we can help.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

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, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Sherborne St John

Can ventilation in schools around Sherborne St John be cleaned out of term?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sherborne St John. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Do you work overnight in Sherborne St John?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Sherborne St John needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Do you survey the system first?

Yes. Inspection is the start of the TR19® Air approach, with pictures of the inside. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?

TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.

Keeping the system healthy

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Log every filter change
  • Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
  • Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
  • Keep to the inspection interval in your report

Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.

Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as moisture makes dust stick.

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Visits to a village like Sherborne St John are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
  2. We open the ductwork through its access panels.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
  5. After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How to get a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Part by part

Extract ductwork

Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.

Offices and retail

Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
