Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, when classrooms are empty.
Offices and retail
Refits in commercial space often leave construction dust in the ducts. A clean before handover is a sensible step.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Boughton Malherbe, done properly
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. The work covers toilet extract systems, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork, and common reasons people get in touch are dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Boughton Malherbe
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Blocked general extract ductwork
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
For schools like Platts Heath Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Boughton Malherbe
Will you come out to Boughton Malherbe?
Yes, Boughton Malherbe is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Boughton Malherbe?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Boughton Malherbe can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

What else we do in Boughton Malherbe
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Boughton Malherbe run smoothly.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- A certificate and before and after photos follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

What affects the quote in Boughton Malherbe
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boughton Malherbe
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. If the system at a site near Boughton Malherbe fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
