How the visit works

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one, and we clear up before we go. We plan the journey to Stansted Mountfitchet and bring what the job is likely to need.

  1. First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
  2. We open the ductwork through its access panels.
  3. We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
  4. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.

How to prepare

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What affects the quote in Stansted Mountfitchet

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The times the site is available
  • The scale of the work
  • Parking and loading at the site

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What to send for a quote

You do not need the technical terms. Just send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

How the job changes from site to site

Schools and colleges

We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.

Grilles and diffusers

Where they come out, grilles are taken down and cleaned, then put back.

When to call us in Stansted Mountfitchet

Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.

What we’re most often called out for:

  • Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
  • Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
  • Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
  • Poor airflow from the vents

Healthcare buildings such as Herts and Essex Hospital, about 2.7 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Stansted Mountfitchet, yours matters too.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Looking after it afterwards

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Log every filter change
  • File each ventilation report with the building records
  • Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
  • Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles

Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so it’s all in one place. Over time, it shows how quickly the system gets dirty.

TR19® Air works through regular inspection. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Stansted Mountfitchet

Is Stansted Mountfitchet within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can a school’s ventilation in Stansted Mountfitchet be done out of term time?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Stansted Mountfitchet, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.

Will you clean the vents in the rooms?

Yes, together with the ductwork. You’ll see them in the before and after pictures.

How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.

What happens to the waste?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What if there aren’t enough access panels?

Accessible sections are cleaned and the others recorded. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can fit them.
