Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Charney Bassett
A dusty duct in a building in Charney Bassett is more than an eyesore. It can restrict airflow, make the system work harder and send dust back into occupied rooms. Cleaning restores the clear airway the system was designed with. We’re often asked to deal with supply ducts with years of dust inside and musty smells from the ventilation, on supply ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
For a building in or near Charney Bassett, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Charney Bassett: your questions answered
Is Charney Bassett within the area you cover?
Yes, Charney Bassett is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Charney Bassett outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Charney Bassett keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
The report shows exactly which parts weren’t reached. Access panels can be added where necessary.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on the building, how the system is used and what inspection finds. Regular inspection tells you when it’s due.
How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
It covers ventilation hygiene for supply and extract systems in offices, schools, hospitals and other buildings. Kitchen extract systems fall under TR19® Grease instead.
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.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
- Problems with how the system is controlled
- Leaking or broken duct sections
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Toilet extract systems
- Offices and schools
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Hospitals and care homes
Do you need ventilation duct cleaning in Charney Bassett?
Filters never catch everything, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts pick up dust, fibres and fluff from the rooms they serve.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
- Odours carried round the building by the ducts
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Ventilation work in and around Charney Bassett is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. The timing of a visit to Charney Bassett is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

How we price ventilation duct cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Charney Bassett
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Charney Bassett and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Diary the next TR19® Air inspection
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with pictures before and after. We’ll suggest where new access panels would help.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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. That’s our job.
