How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in St Ives
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. If you have blocked general extract ductwork and systems missing access panels, we can help, from supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and offices and schools onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
FAQs for St Ives
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in St Ives?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, St Ives included. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few photos of the system.
Can you get to a site in St Ives?
Yes, St Ives is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
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.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
What the work involves, part by part
Supply ductwork
Supply ductwork delivers conditioned air to each room. Fine dust that gets past the filters settles along the runs, and we remove it through access panels.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. Clearing the duct helps the fan do its job.

What else we do in St Ives
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to St Ives can be planned properly.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
