Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sholden
Every ventilation system has ducts bringing air in and ducts taking it out. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you are dealing with systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and more of it finds its way back into the building. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sholden now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

FAQs for Sholden
Can you clean school ventilation in Sholden during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sholden. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Sholden within the area you cover?
Yes, Sholden is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Somewhere like Sholden, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
