How the job changes from site to site
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. The work is sequenced with staff to keep disruption down.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Steward's Green
We get into the ducts through access panels at intervals along the system. Where there aren’t enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and new access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time. The work covers supply ductwork, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes, and the jobs we see most are damp or stale smells from grilles and blocked general extract ductwork.
For a building in or near Steward's Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Questions from Steward's Green
Do you clean school ventilation in Steward's Green in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Steward's Green. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Steward's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Steward's Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you inspect before cleaning?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from pictures and drawings, and then quote a fixed price.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Steward's Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Steward's Green
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
St. Margaret's Hospital, about 1.1 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Steward's Green, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day

Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Steward's Green, about 16 miles from central London, is within our usual area.

Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Log every filter change
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
