Ventilation duct cleaning in Apse Heath, done properly
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That keeps the work in proportion to the risk. Common call-outs are for grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and odours carried round the building by the ducts, across toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Apse Heath
Can the work in Apse Heath be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Apse Heath doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Apse Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so dust is not left at the outlets.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does TR19 Air cover?
The two cover different systems: general ventilation for TR19® Air and kitchen extract for TR19® Grease. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Apse Heath is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- 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 about site rules, permits or sign-in

Why act early in Apse Heath

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Offices and shops tend to need the work done outside opening hours to keep the space open.
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, with nobody in the classrooms.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it does not slip.
Protect the system during building work by turning it off or covering the openings.
