Ventilation duct cleaning in Catslip
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after photos. 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 supply ductwork, offices and schools and toilet extract systems, and people most often call us about systems missing access panels and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected.
Work in a small place like Catslip starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Schools and colleges
We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Fixed quotes for ventilation duct cleaning in Catslip
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it does not slip.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
Common problems we fix in Catslip
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.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Blocked general extract ductwork
If you manage a school such as Nettlebed Community School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Catslip questions
Do you work at weekends in Catslip?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Catslip in your area for ventilation duct cleaning?
Yes, Catslip is covered. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Will you clean the vents in the rooms?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

Why deal with it now?
Clean ducts let the air move as designed, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. With notice, the visit to Catslip can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The timing of a visit to Catslip is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by looking at the layout of the ductwork and how it can be reached.
- Inspection comes next, with photos of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
