Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wash Common
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. The work covers hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are supply ducts with years of dust inside and odours carried round the building by the ducts.
Around a place like Wash Common, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Your opening hours decide when we come to Wash Common, not ours.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
- Supply ductwork
Common problems we fix in Wash Common
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, especially when the system runs during the work. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Falkland Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fix leaks and damp near the ductwork quickly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. We clean them as part of the job, so dust on them isn’t blown back in.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
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 play a part.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
