Ventilation duct cleaning in Stones Green

Extract ducts from toilets, changing rooms and general areas collect dust and lint. Supply ducts pick up whatever gets past the filters. Both are cleaned, with the area protected and the mess contained. The work covers grilles and diffusers, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and odours carried round the building by the ducts.

Somewhere as small as Stones Green, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in Stones Green

Is Stones Green within the area you cover?

Yes, Stones Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Can a school’s ventilation in Stones Green be done out of term time?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Stones Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?

TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract is covered separately, by TR19® Grease.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

What if there are not enough access panels?

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

The process

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stones Green before we set off.

  1. First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
  2. Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
  3. The area below is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.

How to prepare

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Clear the space around the work

Ask for a quote

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stones Green

Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. A planned visit to Stones Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Why book with us

  • A written report with pictures after every visit
  • A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
  • Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Stones Green?

Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stuffy rooms and stale air
  • Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
  • Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
  • Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected

In Stones Green, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

What to look for in a quote

  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and multi-site operators

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

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • What state the system is in
  • The scale of the work

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What we need to know

When you call or email, these details help:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • A few general shots of the system

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
