Ventilation duct cleaning in Beacon Hill, done properly
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, across general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and grilles and diffusers.
In a village or hamlet like Beacon Hill, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract ductwork

Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. Access is agreed with the building manager.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Beacon Hill.
- We look at the system and any earlier reports.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- The work area is protected and the system switched off.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Do you cover smaller places like Beacon Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
