Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Abbots Langley
We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. If some sections can’t be reached, the report says so, and new access panels can be installed for the next clean. Common call-outs are for rooms that feel airless when the system runs and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, on toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork.
Smaller buildings around Abbots Langley often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Abbots Langley, so let us know how to reach it.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Log every filter change
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
