Ventilation duct cleaning in Stanway, done properly
We always start by inspecting. The ducts are opened at access points and the condition recorded, then recommend cleaning where it’s needed. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and ducts that need a clean before handover.
Somewhere as small as Stanway, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stanway run smoothly.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not 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
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
Questions from Stanway
Can you come to Stanway after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stanway needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Stanway?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so the whole system can be cleaned.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- General extract ductwork
- Toilet extract systems
- Hospitals and care homes
Common problems we fix in Stanway
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. In hospitals, care homes and schools, clean air is especially important.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
Wherever a school like Stanway Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What happens if it’s left?
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. A planned visit to Stanway is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
