About our ventilation duct cleaning in Cooling
Every clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, giving the ventilation a clean bill of health on paper. Typical jobs include ventilation full of debris from building work and systems with no record of inspection or cleaning, on general extract ductwork, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork.
Work in a small place like Cooling starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Extract ductwork
Toilet and washroom extract can carry moisture as well as dust, which makes dirt stick. They’re cleaned and their condition recorded.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.

Why deal with it now?

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Log every filter change
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- File each ventilation report with the building records
- Keep grilles and diffusers dusted
Before any works, think about the ducts. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Cooling.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- We issue a TR19® certificate and a photo report listing what was cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Cooling questions
Will you come out to Cooling?
Yes, Cooling is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Cooling be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Cooling keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How much time does a ventilation clean need?
The clean takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. We’ll know more after the survey, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to arrange it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log.
What is TR19® Air?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, beyond the kitchen. It works on inspection and risk, while TR19® Grease covers kitchen extract systems.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
