Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in St Ippolyts
Inspection comes first. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. Typical jobs include ductwork with too few access panels to clean and ducts that need a clean before handover, on supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork.
Work in a small place like St Ippolyts starts with agreeing access and timings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
Common questions in St Ippolyts
Do you clean school ventilation in St Ippolyts in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around St Ippolyts, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to St Ippolyts after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in St Ippolyts can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
Do you provide a report?
Yes, both a certificate and a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything not reached and the next inspection date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes, on every job. We check the layout, access and condition, so the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Do you cover St Ippolyts?
Yes. Our technicians work in St Ippolyts, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What affects the quote in St Ippolyts
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- A system that is not designed to move enough air
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Somewhere like St Ippolyts, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after pictures and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in St Ippolyts
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
