How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Stoke
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. The work covers hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stale smells from grilles and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
For a building in or near Stoke, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stoke
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stoke and across Medway. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Stoke questions

Can the work in Stoke be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Stoke can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which accreditations do you hold?

Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, on site or from photos and drawings, then we send you a fixed quote.

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Part by part
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events, with access agreed with the caretaker or site manager.
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Protect the system from construction dust
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
Common problems we fix in Stoke
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
If you manage a school such as Stoke Primary Academy, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Stoke, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
