Ventilation duct cleaning in Cattawade
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. The report lists what we cleaned, any sections not reached and a recommended next inspection, so you have it all on record. Common call-outs are for grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, on general extract ductwork, hospitals and care homes and offices and schools.
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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Cattawade
If a building in Cattawade has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. In a place like Cattawade, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Cattawade
Building work is one of the biggest sources of debris in ducts, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Poor airflow from the vents
For buildings in and around Cattawade, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system

Cattawade: your questions answered
Can you work in Cattawade outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cattawade needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school’s ventilation in Cattawade be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Cattawade, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you work in Cattawade?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Cattawade.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Grilles and diffusers are cleaned as part of the job, so the room side is clean too.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Cattawade, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
