FAQs for Chilworth Old Village
Can a school’s ventilation in Chilworth Old Village be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Chilworth Old Village. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Chilworth Old Village outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Chilworth Old Village needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is Chilworth Old Village in your area?
Yes. We cover Chilworth Old Village and across Southampton, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost in Chilworth Old Village?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Chilworth Old Village and right across Southampton, in offices, schools, healthcare buildings and retail. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. If you are dealing with supply ducts with years of dust inside and musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Chilworth Old Village, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Grease in kitchen extract systems, cleaned to TR19® Grease instead
- Condensation caused by the building rather than the ducts
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Toilet extract systems
- Supply ductwork
- Grilles and diffusers
- General extract ductwork
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Chilworth Old Village.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Turn off the system or cover the openings during dusty jobs.
Good filter maintenance protects the ductwork. Overdue or badly fitted filters let dust into the supply ducts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Chilworth Old Village: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered as food businesses across Chilworth Old Village and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Princess Anne Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.3 miles south of Chilworth Old Village. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as North Baddesley Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Princess Anne Hospital, about 2.3 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Chilworth Old Village, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Why deal with it now?
Landlords, tenants and auditors may want proof the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
