Ventilation duct cleaning in Chipping Ongar
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers grilles and diffusers, offices and schools and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and damp or stale smells from grilles.
Around a place like Chipping Ongar, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Chipping Ongar
Can you clean school ventilation in Chipping Ongar during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Chipping Ongar. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is Chipping Ongar within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chipping Ongar is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, whenever daytime working isn’t practical. We agree a window when the ventilation can go off.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes, together with the ductwork. They show up in the photo report before and after.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
We recommend when the system should next be inspected, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it is not missed.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Scheduled inspections spot dust before it becomes a major job.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Chipping Ongar can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We survey the system from drawings, pictures or a site visit.
- We inspect inside the ductwork at set points and photograph it.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.

Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. We clean the grilles and look at what’s behind them.

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 can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
