Oxfordshire · Ventilation duct cleaning
Ventilation duct cleaning in Charlton, Oxfordshire
Ventilation duct cleaning in Charlton from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Ducts that need a clean before handover
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
Why deal with it now?
Leave dust in the ductwork and it keeps building. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Charlton
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. Common call-outs are for stuffy rooms and stale air and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, on grilles and diffusers, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems.
In a smaller place like Charlton, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning won’t do:

Questions from Charlton
Do you cover smaller places like Charlton?
Yes. Charlton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Charlton be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Charlton. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
The clean takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. We will know more after the survey, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or email us to arrange it.
What is TR19® Air?
TR19® Air applies to the general ventilation in buildings like offices, schools and hospitals. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the job changes from site to site
Offices and retail
Shared systems in multi-let buildings need access to several areas. Access is agreed with the building manager.
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor, and we clear up before we go. We plan the journey to Charlton and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- We clean the system and remove the debris from site.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
