Kent · Ventilation duct cleaning
Stansted ventilation duct cleaning
One call covers TR19 Air cleaning of general supply and extract ventilation ductwork in commercial buildings in Stansted: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Duct runs that cannot be reached for cleaning
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Report dust blowing from grilles straight away
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Stick to the filter change schedule
Before any works, think about the ducts. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stansted
Dust in ventilation ductwork isn’t only a cleanliness issue. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. Typical jobs include rooms that feel airless when the system runs and ductwork with too few access panels to clean, on supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and grilles and diffusers.
Somewhere as small as Stansted, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers are not disturbed.
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The timing of a visit to Stansted is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Stansted: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Stansted be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Stansted. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Stansted?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Stansted needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What if there aren’t enough access panels?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. We can install panels to open those sections up.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
When to call us in Stansted
It matters for the people inside: dirt in the ducts can come back out of the grilles, slow the air and add strain on fans. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Systems missing access panels
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Stansted, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Sevenoaks Hospital (about 5.5 miles south-west).
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What affects the quote in Stansted
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
