Ventilation duct cleaning in Boughton under Blean, 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 every job starts with a look inside the ducts. If you have ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms, we can put it right, from general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork onwards.
Work in a small place like Boughton under Blean starts with agreeing access and timings.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. In a small place like Boughton under Blean, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Boughton under Blean
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

- The scale of the work
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 will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep filters changed on time
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air. Diary it right away so it does not slip.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.

When to call us in Boughton under Blean
In a building in Boughton under Blean, the ventilation may run for long hours every day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
What we are most often called out for:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Poor airflow from the vents
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (about 5.2 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Boughton under Blean.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
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 does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. You get a certificate with the date, location and technician, along with pictures before and after.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. Fixed ones are cleaned in place.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. Access panels can be added where necessary.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Different parts, different methods
Schools and colleges
The work is fitted around term dates and events and agree access with the site team.
Grilles and diffusers
Grilles and diffusers are where the ducts meet the room. They’re cleaned along with the ductwork, so the room side matches the duct side.
