Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so we look before we clean. The work covers hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff and ventilation full of debris from building work.
For a building in or near Yopps Green, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Yopps Green
Do you clean school ventilation in Yopps Green in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Yopps Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Yopps Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Yopps Green can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How do you deal with ducts you can’t get into?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. We can install panels to open those sections up.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
It takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When to call us in Yopps Green
Most ductwork is out of sight, so nobody sees the build-up. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Systems missing access panels
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Plaxtol Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
Managing agents and facilities teams in Yopps Green
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Yopps Green before we set off.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, so the dust tends to cling. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Hospitals and care homes
People in hospitals and care homes can be more vulnerable to poor air. Inspecting and cleaning to TR19® Air supports good air quality.
