Ugley Green questions
Can ventilation in schools around Ugley Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Ugley Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Ugley Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Ugley Green can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, with the reason. New access panels can be installed so they’re covered next time.
Do you survey the system first?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points, with pictures of the inside. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ugley 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. Typical jobs include dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems.
Somewhere as small as Ugley Green, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When to call us in Ugley Green
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Wherever a school like Forest Hall School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why deal with it now?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you do not know where you stand. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
