- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Systems missing access panels
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Botley
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. If you have damp or stale smells from grilles and blocked general extract ductwork, we can put it right.
For a building near Botley, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
What happens if it’s left?
Dust in ducts does not go away on its own. Every year adds to the job, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Botley questions
Is Botley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Botley included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Botley be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Botley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from photos, drawings or a site visit, and then quote a fixed price.
Botley buildings and their air
There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 hotels and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Botley, up to about a mile and a half out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. We cover Botley, about 55 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The nearest hospital to Botley is Radcliffe Infirmary, about 1.8 miles east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Radcliffe Infirmary (about 1.8 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Common problems we fix in Botley
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
School buildings such as Botley School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Botley.
- 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.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Building management settings that run the plant
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
- Leaking or broken duct sections
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
