Questions from St Michaels
Can the work in St Michaels be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like St Michaels?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, St Michaels included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
We list any unreached sections on the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
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’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in St Michaels
We always start by inspecting. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That way the work matches the real condition. If you’re dealing with ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The timing of a visit to St Michaels is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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 pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ventilation duct cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
- Protect the system from construction dust
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with photos before and after. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in St Michaels
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
