Ventilation duct cleaning in Burghfield, done properly
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. The work covers toilet extract systems, hospitals and care homes and general extract ductwork, and people most often call us about odours carried round the building by the ducts and dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years.
Somewhere as small as Burghfield, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Log every filter change
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Burghfield, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system from drawings, photos or a site visit.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- We protect the rooms beneath and switch the system off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
Extract ductwork
A dirty extract duct makes its fan work harder. A clean duct takes the load off.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Burghfield
- Hospitals and care homes
- Toilet extract systems
- Grilles and diffusers
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- General extract ductwork
When to call us in Burghfield
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Musty smells from the ventilation
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Burghfield: your questions answered
Can you come to Burghfield after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Burghfield needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Burghfield?
Yes. Burghfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
