Your questions about ventilation duct cleaning in Foxendown
Can the work in Foxendown be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Foxendown keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Foxendown?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Foxendown is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
When should our ventilation next be cleaned?
TR19® Air is risk-based, so cleaning follows inspection rather than a fixed calendar. Each report recommends when the system should next be inspected.
What does TR19 Air cover?
TR19® Air is the part of BESA’s TR19® that covers general supply and extract ventilation, beyond the kitchen. It’s risk-based and led by inspection, and kitchen extract falls under TR19® Grease.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
About our ventilation duct cleaning in Foxendown
Supply ducts carry air into the rooms and extract ducts take it away. Dust and debris build up in both, and some of it is blown back into the building. Our cleaning covers the ducts, grilles and diffusers, to TR19® Air. If you have stuffy rooms and stale air and odours carried round the building by the ducts, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Foxendown, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common problems we fix in Foxendown
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, especially when the system runs during the work. That dust can stay in the ducts long after the builders leave.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Supply ducts with years of dust inside
- Dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Damp or stale smells from grilles
School buildings such as Meopham Community Academy are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. The timing of a visit to Foxendown is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from photos and drawings.
- Ducts are inspected at access points and the condition recorded.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Dust and debris are removed from ducts, grilles and diffusers.
- You get a TR19® certificate and photo report, with any unreached sections noted.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What else we do in Foxendown
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage
- Keep filters changed on time
- Watch for water stains around grilles
What was cleaned is listed, along with any parts that weren’t accessible, with photos before and after. If access panels are needed, we will say where.
Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.
