About our ventilation duct cleaning in Slutshole
Dust in ventilation ductwork is not only a cleanliness issue. It slows the air, strains the fans and can be blown back out of the grilles. A clean puts the system back as it should be. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers, and the jobs we see most are ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust.
In a village or hamlet like Slutshole, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Slutshole
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. In a small place like Slutshole, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. Visits to a village like Slutshole are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Log every filter change
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Questions from Slutshole
Can a school’s ventilation in Slutshole be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Slutshole, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Slutshole?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Slutshole included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
