Ashley questions
Will you come out to Ashley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashley included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Ashley outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Ashley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What is TR19® Air?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Ashley
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. If you have ductwork with too few access panels to clean and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Ashley
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Ductwork that hasn’t been inspected
- Systems missing access panels
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
For buildings in and around Ashley, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Ashley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
