How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Ardington
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow from the vents and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, across hospitals and care homes, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.

Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Ardington?
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Wantage Primary Academy are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
After building work, cleaning the ventilation before people move back in makes sense. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ardington affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Common questions in Ardington
Can a school’s ventilation in Ardington be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ardington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Ardington after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ardington needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, the answer comes from inspecting the ducts. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
