Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fareham
Beyond the kitchen, TR19® Air covers the ordinary supply and extract systems that serve offices, schools and other buildings. It works by inspecting first and cleaning where the risk calls for it, so we look before we clean. Common call-outs are for ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection and stuffy rooms and stale air, on general extract ductwork, toilet extract systems and hospitals and care homes.
In a town like Fareham, ventilation cleaning typically means offices, schools, surgeries, care homes and leisure buildings. Each has supply and extract ductwork that collects dust and debris.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Fareham
Many systems run for long hours, day after day, and every hour of running brings more dust with it. The busier the building, the faster it builds up.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Musty smells from the ventilation
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
If you manage shops or offices close to Fareham station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- What hours they’ll be on site
What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are regularly asked to show evidence of ventilation hygiene. A TR19® certificate and photo report from a recent clean give them that. With a fire risk assessment or inspection due, getting the work done first puts you on the front foot.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Questions from Fareham
Can the work in Fareham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Fareham needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you do ventilation duct cleaning in Fareham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fareham is part of that. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few photos of the system.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re 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.
Do you clean grilles and diffusers?
Yes. Where they can be removed, they’re taken down, cleaned and refitted. The rest are cleaned where they are.
How often should ventilation ductwork be cleaned?
That varies with the building, the filters and how hard the system works. Inspecting regularly shows when cleaning is needed.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cooking extract ducts, which are a separate specialist clean
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Ducts that are damaged, corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Part by part
Offices and retail
Multi-let buildings may share ductwork between tenants. We plan access with the managing agent.
Supply ductwork
We check supply ducts at intervals along each run to see where cleaning is needed.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Fareham will be.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- Floors and furniture are covered and the ventilation turned off.
- We clean the ductwork, grilles and diffusers through access panels.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the quote in Fareham
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
