Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tollesbury
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are ventilation full of debris from building work and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years.
Somewhere as small as Tollesbury, ducted ventilation is typically 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tollesbury
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Tollesbury knowing what to expect.
- First we plan when the work can happen, often out of hours.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Tollesbury questions
Can you work in Tollesbury outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Tollesbury needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Tollesbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do we get a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, along with pictures before and after.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
When to call us in Tollesbury
Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Tollesbury, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What insurance they carry
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Why it’s worth doing now in Tollesbury
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. Having a recent certificate and photo report for a building in Tollesbury answers the question. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
