How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Brize Norton
Inspection comes first. We look inside the ductwork at set points and record what’s there, and cleaning is recommended where the inspection shows it’s due. That way the work matches the real condition. We are often asked to deal with ductwork with too few access panels to clean and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on offices and schools, toilet extract systems and general extract ductwork.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for water stains around grilles
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Log every filter change
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it right away so it doesn’t slip.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
Smells, dust around grilles and stuffy rooms are signs the system needs attention. Acting early keeps the clean simpler. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Brize Norton
Do you work overnight in Brize Norton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Brize Norton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract ductwork
General extract ductwork removes stale air from rooms, toilets and washrooms. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Schools and colleges
Busy classrooms send a lot of dust and fibre into extract ducts. Regular inspection keeps on top of it.
