About our ventilation duct cleaning in Coldharbour
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. If you have damp or stale smells from grilles and grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt, we can help, from offices and schools, grilles and diffusers and general extract ductwork onwards.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. In a building in Coldharbour, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coldharbour
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 to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools and colleges
Schools and colleges are easiest to clean during the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Extract ductwork
Washroom extracts handle damp air, so the dust tends to cling. We clean them and note any damp or corrosion.
Why deal with it now?
Dust in ducts doesn’t go away on its own. The longer it’s left, the more there is to remove, and the more gets blown back into the rooms. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We are fully insured
