How we handle ventilation duct cleaning in Great Tey
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. If you’re dealing with extract ducts clogged with lint and dust and ventilation full of debris from building work, we can put it right, from hospitals and care homes, grilles and diffusers and supply ductwork onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

We cover Great Tey, about 45 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Halstead Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.7 miles north-west of Great Tey. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

Staff cleaning versus 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean system moves air more easily, which puts less load on the fans. Dirty ducts make the whole system work harder. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Part by part
Grilles and diffusers
Dark streaks round a ceiling diffuser can be a sign of dirty supply air. The grilles are cleaned and the ducts behind inspected.
Hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes are occupied day and night. The work is sequenced with staff to keep disruption down.
Signs you need ventilation duct cleaning in Great Tey
Filters never catch everything, so fine dust settles in supply ductwork over the years. Extract ducts collect whatever the rooms give off: dust, fibres and lint.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork never cleaned since it was installed
- Rooms that feel airless when the system runs
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
- Toilet and washroom extracts full of fluff
Halstead Hospital, about 5.7 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Great Tey, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Great Tey before we set off.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- Access panels are opened along each run.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- Grilles and diffusers are cleaned and refitted.
- We take after photos and send the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

- Clear the space around the work

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report dust blowing from grilles right away
- Store cleaning certificates where auditors can find them
- Wipe grilles and diffusers during routine cleaning
- Keep to the inspection interval in your report
The report lists the sections we cleaned and any we couldn’t reach, with pictures before and after. If access panels are needed, we’ll say where.
Regular inspection is the core of TR19® Air. Inspecting on a schedule catches build-up before it becomes a big clean.
How we price ventilation duct cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
