Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eight Ash Green
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 we look before we clean. If you’re dealing with systems missing access panels and ductwork that hasn’t been inspected, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Eight Ash Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep vents and grilles clear of shelving and stock
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
Pass the paperwork to your facilities or maintenance team, so the history stays together. Year on year, it shows how fast dust builds up.
Deal with condensation and leaks near ducts promptly, as wet dust is much harder to clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What affects the cost of ventilation duct cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted

Eight Ash Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Eight Ash Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eight Ash Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Eight Ash Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Eight Ash Green keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What if there are not enough access panels?
Nothing is hidden: any section we couldn’t get into is listed. We can install panels to open those sections up.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Honest limits
Ventilation duct cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Damp or mould problems coming from the building fabric
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eight Ash Green
In healthcare, care and education settings, ventilation cleaning is hard to put off. Clean ducts are part of providing good air for the people inside. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
