Common problems we fix in Cross Gate
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Stuffy rooms and stale air
- Ventilation full of debris from building work
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
Wherever a school like Amberley CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why

Questions from Cross Gate
Do you cover smaller places like Cross Gate?
Yes, Cross Gate is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Cross Gate?
Yes, Cross Gate is covered. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you provide a report?
Yes. The certificate records the date and location of the work and the technician, along with photos before and after.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will you look at the ducts before quoting?
Yes. TR19® Air is inspection-led, so we look inside the ducts at set points and record what we find. Cleaning is recommended where it’s needed.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How often do ventilation ducts need cleaning?
There’s no single interval; under TR19® Air, inspection decides. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
Starting with an inspection means you only clean what needs it. Putting the inspection off just means you don’t know where you stand. With notice, the visit to Cross Gate can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Log every filter change
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
Change filters on schedule so the clean ducts stay clean. Overdue filters are the quickest way to undo a duct clean.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by turning it off or covering the openings.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
