About our ventilation duct cleaning in Stapleford Tawney
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. The work covers supply ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools, and people most often call us about dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years.
Somewhere as small as Stapleford Tawney, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Do not run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Keep filters changed on time. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Building management settings that run the plant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- General extract ductwork
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
Common problems we fix in Stapleford Tawney
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Look out for any of the following:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
In Stapleford Tawney, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

How to get a quote

Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
