Ventilation duct cleaning in Boars Hill
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. The work covers toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and grilles and diffusers, and people most often call us about ventilation full of debris from building work and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
Somewhere as small as Boars Hill, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ventilation duct cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Boars Hill, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A clean system moves air more easily, which takes strain off the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Log every filter change
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.

What we’re called out for in Boars Hill
Planned maintenance tends to focus on fans and filters, not the ducts. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Dust marks around grilles and ceiling diffusers
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
Hospitals such as Littlemore Hospital (about 2.8 miles east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Boars Hill are no different.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Boars Hill
Can you come to Boars Hill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Boars Hill?
Yes, Boars Hill is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
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 ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
Inspection should decide it, in line with TR19® Air. Heavily used buildings, or those with vulnerable occupants, may need attention more often.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- General extract ductwork
- Supply ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Hospitals and care homes
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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’s where we come in.
