How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Coombe
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that deals with general supply and extract ventilation. It’s risk-based and inspection-led, so every job starts with a look inside the ducts. The work covers general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and offices and schools, and the jobs we see most are ventilation full of debris from building work and musty smells from the ventilation.
In a village or hamlet like Coombe, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

Part by part
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
Hospitals and care homes
In care settings, keeping dust contained is a priority. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a day or less for a small system and a series of visits for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Coombe.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Coombe and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What we’re called out for in Coombe
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
School buildings such as Great Kimble Church of England School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Log every filter change
- Don’t run the ventilation while builders are sanding or cutting
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep them in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician recorded.
Make sure there are enough access panels to inspect and clean the ducts. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
Questions from Coombe
Can you come to Coombe after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Coombe doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Coombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does TR19 Air cover?
It’s BESA’s guidance for ventilation hygiene in general supply and extract systems, rather than kitchen extract. It works on inspection and risk, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
How do you deal with ducts you cannot get into?
We clean what we can reach and note the rest. Fitting access panels tends to be the answer, and we can quote for them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What affects the quote in Coombe
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
If a building in Coombe has just been refitted, now is the time to clean the ductwork. Otherwise the dust from the works comes out of the grilles once it’s switched back on. It’s simpler to plan the work at Coombe now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A written report with photos after each visit
- We are fully insured
