Ventilation duct cleaning in Burghclere Common
In a building in Burghclere Common, the people inside spend hours breathing what the ventilation delivers. Clean ducts are part of a healthy building, alongside filter changes and AHU maintenance. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, on general extract ductwork, supply ductwork and offices and schools.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Burghclere Common
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Systems missing access panels
- Musty smells from the ventilation
If you manage a school such as The Clere School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Protect the system from construction dust
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Keep up with filter changes to protect the ducts. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
What ventilation duct cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric

What the work involves, part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Every duct ends at a grille or diffuser in the room. We clean them as part of the job, so the room side matches the duct side.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning

- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so dust is not left at the outlets.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will we have paperwork to show the system was cleaned?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
