How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Daws Heath
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Over time, both collect dust and debris, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. Typical jobs include blocked general extract ductwork and ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection, across toilet extract systems, offices and schools and hospitals and care homes.
For a building in or near Daws Heath, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and restrict the flow over time.
Grilles and diffusers
Dust marks around grilles can point to dirt further back in the system. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Log every filter change
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
Share the report with whoever looks after the building’s maintenance, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Daws Heath knowing what to expect.
- First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
- We inspect the ducts at chosen points to see where cleaning is needed.
- We cover the area below and turn off the system.
- Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
- We report on the work, listing any inaccessible sections and the next inspection date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Kitchen extract ductwork, which needs a TR19® Grease clean
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Problems with how the system is controlled
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
