Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Surrex
Toilet, washroom and general extract ducts gather dust, fluff and debris. Supply ducts carry anything the filters miss. We clean both, keeping the work tidy and the building protected. Common call-outs are for systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and odours carried round the building by the ducts, across general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and hospitals and care homes.
Work in a small place like Surrex starts with agreeing access and timings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Dust streaks around grilles and stale rooms suggest the ducts need looking at. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Protect the system during building work by switching it off or covering the grilles.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Surrex and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Surrex and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. We protect the work area and take everything away.
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours so staff and customers aren’t disturbed.
