About our ventilation duct cleaning in The Chart
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include poor airflow from the vents and ductwork never cleaned since it was installed, across hospitals and care homes, supply ductwork and toilet extract systems.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Parts of the system we cover

- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
Different parts, different methods
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and restrict the flow over time.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. For a village or hamlet like The Chart, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Ventilation duct cleaning around The Chart
Food Standards Agency data includes about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of The Chart. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Tandridge Priory is the nearest hospital, about 0.6 miles north-west of The Chart. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. At about 18 miles from central London, The Chart sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a 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, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

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.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in The Chart
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Musty smells from the ventilation
If you manage a school such as Limpsfield CofE Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
