About our ventilation duct cleaning in Tendring Heath
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Keeping the ducts clean is a sensible part of looking after them, as much as clean filters and a well-kept AHU. If you have systems missing access panels and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, we can help, from general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and supply ductwork onwards.
For a building in or near Tendring Heath, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Advice
Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Leaking or broken duct sections
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

FAQs for Tendring Heath
Can you clean school ventilation in Tendring Heath during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tendring Heath. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Tendring Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tendring Heath included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, plus a photo report.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can you clean ventilation out of hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building can carry on as usual.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with photos of the inside. We recommend cleaning where the inspection shows it’s due.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Protect the system from construction dust
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, backed up by before and after pictures. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
What we are called out for in Tendring Heath

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Tendring Heath
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

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’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
