Ventilation duct cleaning for sites in Sonning Common

Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sonning Common

Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. The work covers offices and schools, hospitals and care homes and supply ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning.

In a smaller place like Sonning Common, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step

The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Visits to a place like Sonning Common are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. We cover the area below and turn off the system.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.

How to prepare

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Part by part

Extract ductwork

Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.

Supply ductwork

Anything in a supply duct can end up in the rooms it feeds. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Sonning Common

Do you offer ventilation duct cleaning in Sonning Common?

Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Sonning Common included. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us what needs doing.

Can you get to a site in Sonning Common?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sonning Common included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?

TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.

Do you clean grilles and diffusers?

Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What happens if it’s left?

Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Sonning Common answers the question. A site near Sonning Common that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • Photo reports with every job
  • Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

Between visits

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
  • Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles

What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. We will suggest where new access panels would help.

Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

Sonning Common buildings and their air

Food Standards Agency records list about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) registered as food businesses in Sonning Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. At about 38 miles from central London, Sonning Common sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. About 4.1 miles south of Sonning Common is Battle Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

For schools like Sonning Common Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Sonning Common, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Battle Hospital (about 4.1 miles south).

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:

  • Leaking or broken duct sections
  • Building management settings that run the plant
  • A system that isn’t designed to move enough air

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
