Advice
Ventilation duct cleaning in Fair Oak
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. We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers to TR19® Air. The work covers hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork, and the jobs we see most are ductwork never cleaned since it was installed and construction dust left in ducts after a refit.
In a place like Fair Oak, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Places near Fair Oak
What else we do in Fair Oak
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What affects the quote in Fair Oak
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ventilation that is undersized for the building
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

- Grilles and diffusers
- Supply ductwork

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Questions from Fair Oak
Can you get to a site in Fair Oak?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fair Oak is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school ventilation in Fair Oak in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Fair Oak. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag any dust coming out of the vents
- Switch the ventilation off or cover grilles during dusty building work
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
If there’s building work planned, protect the ventilation. Switch it off or cover the grilles while dusty work goes on.
Fit access panels where the ductwork can’t be reached. Hidden sections are the ones that get worst.
What we’re called out for in Fair Oak
Moisture in ducts makes dust stick. Condensation and leaks turn loose dust into a stubborn layer, which is harder to shift later.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
Healthcare buildings such as Moorgreen Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Fair Oak, yours matters too.
