About 4.6 miles south of Charlton is Chichester Centre, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.

Ventilation duct cleaning in Charlton, done properly
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. Typical jobs include dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years and extract ducts clogged with lint and dust, on supply ductwork, offices and schools and grilles and diffusers.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Charlton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens if it’s left?
If a building in Charlton has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise construction dust left in the ducts is blown out once the system runs. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Charlton is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, there’s no quiet time. We plan the order of work with the site team so care carries on.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. They collect dust, lint and fibres and slowly narrow.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Charlton can be planned properly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- We photograph the ducts, then clean each section in turn.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- After photos are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What we are called out for in Charlton
Even good filters let some dust through, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Systems missing access panels
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
If you manage a school such as Singleton CofE Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote

Charlton: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Charlton be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Charlton. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Charlton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Charlton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. We suggest a next inspection date after every visit.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep filters changed on time
- Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. We will suggest where new access panels would help.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
