How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Blackboys
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. Typical jobs include poor airflow from the vents and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, on hospitals and care homes, general extract ductwork and offices and schools.
Somewhere as small as Blackboys, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. In a place like Blackboys, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

Blackboys: your questions answered
Do you clean school ventilation in Blackboys in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Blackboys, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Blackboys?
Yes. Blackboys is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes, always. The survey shows the layout, the access and the condition before giving a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Somewhere as small as Blackboys, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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 on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Fit-outs in offices and shops leave dust in the ventilation. Cleaning before the new occupants move in makes sense.
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What we’re called out for in Blackboys
Damp ducts hold onto dirt. Where there’s condensation or a leak, dust clings and builds faster, which is harder to shift later.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Systems missing access panels
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Blackboys Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
