About our ventilation duct cleaning in Alphamstone
Everyone in the building breathes the air the ventilation brings in. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. The work covers hospitals and care homes, offices and schools and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about ductwork that hasn’t been inspected and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Alphamstone, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Alphamstone
Can you work in Alphamstone outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Alphamstone does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is ventilation duct cleaning available in Alphamstone?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Alphamstone included. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work 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 Alphamstone before we set off.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- 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.
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
- Clear loose items from the work area

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Watch for water stains around grilles
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

What we are called out for in Alphamstone
Most ductwork is out of sight, so dust collects unseen. Grilles may be wiped, but the ducts behind them rarely are.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
In Alphamstone, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
