Questions from Freeland
Can you get to a site in Freeland?
Yes, Freeland is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Freeland in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Freeland. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long will the duct cleaning take?
The clean takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. The survey gives us a clearer idea, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to arrange it.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
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.
Are grilles and diffusers included?
Yes. We clean the grilles and diffusers along with the ductwork, so the room side is clean too.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Ventilation duct cleaning in Freeland, done properly
Ventilation duct cleaning is something we carry out for buildings in Freeland and right across Oxfordshire, from offices and schools to hospitals, care homes and shops. Each building gets a survey first and a fixed quote. The work covers supply ductwork, general extract ductwork and toilet extract systems, and the jobs we see most are systems with no record of inspection or cleaning and supply ducts with years of dust inside.
Somewhere as small as Freeland, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes from one overnight visit to a phased programme over several weeks. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Freeland run smoothly.
- First the system is surveyed, on site or from pictures and drawings.
- Inspection comes next, with pictures of the inside of the ducts.
- The area below is protected and the system switched off.
- Debris is cleared from the duct runs, then grilles and diffusers are cleaned.
- A certificate and before and after pictures follow, with anything not reached recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What else we do in Freeland
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Freeland
Even good filters let some dust through, and that fine dust settles along the supply ducts. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extract ducts clogged with lint and dust
- Systems missing access panels
- Dusty supply ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in years
- Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Freeland, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

How the job changes from site to site
Supply ductwork
Dust in supply ducts can be blown straight into occupied rooms. We clean the runs so it is not blown back in.
Extract ductwork
Extract ducts take air out of toilets, washrooms and general areas. Lint, dust and fibres gather inside and slowly narrow.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next inspection on the date the report recommends
- Make sure nothing is stacked against extract grilles
- Get leaks near ductwork fixed quickly
- Include grilles in the cleaning rota
The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Diary it straight away so it is not missed.
Do not let construction dust into the ventilation by switching it off or covering the grilles.
