Ventilation duct cleaning in Foxbury, done properly
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 every job starts with a look inside the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ventilation full of debris from building work, on hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and offices and schools.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Foxbury.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools and colleges
Holidays and weekends are the natural time to clean school ventilation, with nobody in the classrooms.
Supply ductwork
Supply runs are inspected at set points first before deciding what to clean.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Foxbury
Why does it matter?: dusty ducts can blow debris back into rooms, restrict airflow and make fans work harder. Where people are vulnerable, as in healthcare and care settings, the stakes are higher.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Poor airflow from the vents
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Chislehurst School for Girls are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before you book anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report leaks or damp near ceilings and risers
- Stick to the filter change schedule
- Do not block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. BESA advises keeping certificates in the maintenance log, with the date, location and technician on record.
Fit access panels where the ductwork cannot be reached. The worst build-up tends to be where no one can look.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
- Ventilation that’s undersized for the building
- Building management settings that run the plant
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Foxbury
Do you clean school ventilation in Foxbury in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Foxbury. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you need to know about parking in Foxbury?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.
Do you cover Foxbury?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Foxbury.
What does ventilation duct cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. For a job in Foxbury, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before photos are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.

How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
